Fearless Glasgow

Part of Glasgow Caledonian's commitment to ending gender-based violence

All members of society have the right to study and work without experiencing any form of gender-based violence (GBV), abuse or harassment. Often described as ‘violence against women’, the term gender-based violence refers to violence directed against someone because of their gender and expectations of their role in a society or culture.

Fearless Glasgow is a consortium of Universities, Colleges, third sector organisations and the Police Service of Scotland in Glasgow and the West who work together to effectively prevent and respond to gender based violence. The consortium was founded and is chaired by Glasgow Caledonian's Jackie Main. The Fearless Glasgow report was compiled thanks to data collected from our collective institutions including our Report and Support system.
