Barriers to Safety 2026
A research-informed national conference examining the underreporting of gender-based violence in migrant communities. Over two days, Barriers to Safety brings migrant communities and institutions together to break down the barriers to reporting SGBV — including FGM, sexual violence and domestic violence — through honest dialogue, research and cultural celebration.
Day One (12 Nov): Institutions and Migrant Communities — a national conference with researchers, public institutions, policy makers and specialist services.
Day Two (13 Nov): Roots Conversations, Gala Dinner and Awards Night — thematic dialogues on culture, safety and collective responsibility, with live entertainment, food and networking. Admission £25.
Featuring live performances by Jally Kebba Susso (West African Kora) and Kumba Kuyateh (Mansa Jali).
