2020
An updated community and cross-sector approach to tackle hate crime has been adopted across the city to help agencies coordinate prevention activities and reduce hate crime
2022
There is an updated coordinated community and cross sector response to domestic and sexual violence for adults, children and young people
BWV Actions: Provide a central hub for specialist domestic violence services to plan a coordinated response and liaise with the Safety Group of the Women's Commission, Bristol City Council, along with academics, particularly the Centre for Gender and Violence research.
2026
People understand the signs of modern-day slavery and know how and where to report this
Alongside understanding the signs, people must also be trained in the risk factors, which include being a victim of domestic violence and being socially and economically marginalised.
2033
Trust in the police amongst BAME communities has improved as evidenced by local surveys and community outreach programmes
Trust of police effects everyone man or woman. However, as women are far more likely to experience domestic violence it is crucial that BAME women feel like they can trust the police and other council services.
2034
There will have been a shift in the balance of power, so the voices of all citizens are heard
BWV Actions: Continue to organise events such as hustings were women have their voices heard. Provide opportunities for disenfranchised women to contribute to decision-making in environments they feel comfortable. Identify barriers to having women's voices heard and work collaboratively with other organisations to overcome them.
2034
The number of citizens feeling involved in decision making in their neighbourhoods has increased by 20%
In order for the balance of power to ultimately shift to all Bristol citizens, it is important that the most disenfranchised are targeted first. This means that women from communities that participate the least in decision making should be actively included first.
