Make Some Noise
Women's Safety Campaign. Silence protects offenders. Noise protects women.
We Must Speak to be Heard
Why we say make Noise
The evidence is clear: what deters an offender most is not the fear of prison — it's the fear of being caught and identified. Naming an attacker out loud removes the one thing they rely on: anonymity. That is why noise is one of the most powerful tools a woman has.
We are not telling women to put themselves in danger. Every situation is different, and you are always the best judge of your own safety. There are moments when staying calm is the safer choice, and that is never the wrong one. But the idea that women should simply stay quiet to stay safe is a myth — and a costly one.
Used wisely, your voice protects you. Make noise when you can. Survive first.
Don't believe us — look at the evidence. In an anonymous survey where no names were taken, offenders admitted an average of six offences each, and not one had ever been reported to police.

Questions
Police vs Support Services
When should I contact the police instead of a support service?
Contact the police when a crime is happening, has just happened, or when you are at risk of harm.
Support services are vital for emotional, practical, and long-term help.
Both routes matter — reporting protects evidence and accountability, while support protects wellbeing. You are not required to choose only one.
Abuse, Harassment & Stalking
Does this count as harassment or abuse — even if it’s “not physical”?
Yes. Repeated contact, threats, controlling behaviour, intimidation, and online targeting can all constitute harassment, stalking, or abuse under UK law.
Harm is defined by impact, not just physical injury. If behaviour makes you feel unsafe, monitored, or afraid, it matters.
Rights & Reporting
What evidence should I keep, and can I report anonymously?
You can report anonymously, but named reports allow police to investigate and protect you more effectively.
Keep: screenshots, messages, call logs, dates, times, photos, medical records, and witness details.
Ask for a crime reference number — it confirms the incident is logged and protects your right to follow-up and support.
