Join us for our 'Let's Talk' on how the Civility Commission recommendation are being implemented on Tuesday 18th February from 8pm till 9.20pm.

Over the years, we have seen the level of abuse, harassment and intimidation directed at those in public life intensify and is on the rise.

Our friends at the The Jo Cox Foundation, have done a significant amount of work and research via The Jo Cox Civility Commission, which has identified a range of practical recommendations that the Government could be put in place now to make a difference to the issue of abuse and intimidation of elected politicians... 

You can read all the recommendation here, plus an update on the progress made against each recommendations. 

LWN fully support these recommendation, and while we don't take policy positions, our ‘Let’s Talk’ events make a feminist space for important discussions to be had that affect women.

Please join LWN and our fantastic panel of experts to hear why the we need all the recommendations to be implemented.
