“This training has significantly influenced our approach to handling incident reports. Our text message reporting service, which receives around 300 messages per month, previously did not provide feedback to those who reported incidents. Following the training, I have ensured that a team member contacts these victims to update them on the actions taken in response to their reports. This approach has received positive feedback, encouraging more people to report incidents and share their experiences.”

"We want officers to truly understand the fear and vulnerability women face daily. This empathy-building exercise aims to equip them with the knowledge and skills to effectively respond to VAWG incidents and create safer spaces for everyone.”

“The training has instilled a deeper sense of empathy and understanding in our officers, which has been evident in their day-to-day operations. One of the most notable changes has been the adoption of the practice of 'putting themselves in the shoes' of others before making decisions during incidents. This shift in perspective has led to more compassionate and effective resolutions, fostering a safer and more trusting environment for the public."

"It was a really interactive experience, better than any online training."

"Fantastic experience. Absolutely essential for those who are in positions of power to understand the daily life experience of women & girls."

"It made me think of my daughter... I see what she has to go through now."

"I found the whole two day experience was better than if we had just the VR"

"I will be using everything I've learnt not just at work but also in my personal life"
