"This autumn marks the fourth year of Let's Lift the Curfew, the national movement from 'This Girl Can', aiming to end the curfew imposed on women by safety fears during darker nights.
Every year, the clocks go back – and every year, women’s worlds shrink.
When the clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, millions of women across the UK will once again see their world get smaller as the nights get darker.
Safety concerns affect where they go, when they go, who they go with and whether they can be active outdoors at all.
Whether shaped by past experiences, stories they've heard, or not feeling comfortable or confident in a particular place after dark, many women are unable to be active outdoors or use public spaces in the same way that men do.
In fact, nearly three-quarters (72%) of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines during winter. This impacts women’s health and wellbeing and reinforces the stubborn gender activity gap which sees half a million fewer active women than men.
Let's Lift the Curfew challenges this reality to ensure no woman has to change where, when or how she gets active because of safety concerns.
Since launching in 2023, Let's Lift the Curfew has grown into a nationwide movement, bringing together women, community groups, sports clubs, organisations and allies to raise awareness of the issue and create change."
