UK police said Friday they will enable a safe space for women celebrating New Year’s Eve in London, according to Metropolitan police.
The Met announced a designated space will be provided for women and girls who feel unsafe before the mayor’s fireworks display at the London Eye.
It said it has been working with the Safer Spaces charity, a community interest group set up to help educate and create a culture that confronts and prevents sexual violence, harassment and domestic abuse at festivals and events.
“The space, located along Duncannon Street, near Trafalgar Square, will have specially trained professionals with safeguarding backgrounds on site, who will be supported by the police,” it said.
