Decision details

It is crucial to the ongoing relevance and validity of the GBV Strategy that women’s groups across Greater Manchester feel that they are able to debate, consider and influence the ongoing delivery of the Strategy. Events, such as this conference play an important role in facilitating this involvement and influence

The Safer Stronger Communities Directorate support the delivery of a GM Women’s conference in March 2025 considering issues related to the GM Gender-Based Violence Strategy and the recommendations of the Baird Review. The support offered is £750 towards the costs of hosting the event – these monies are available within the Gender-Based Violence budget code 3044. The Deputy mayor made this commitment in a meeting with the group at the end of last year.
