Lift the Curfew - Did you know...
48% of women prefer not to be active outside after dark.
60% of women worry about the risk of sexual harassment or intimidation.

As the clocks go back and the nights grow longer...

Many women find themselves adjusting or avoiding outdoor exercise routines to feel safe. For some, winter months feel like a curfew.

Join us, alongside over 100 events across England, as we walk together to raise awareness and champion safety for all. CCCU X Lift The Curfew from This Girl Can are bringing this event to Canterbury to highlight the importance of feeling safe while staying active after dark.
