Siwan Hayward, TfL's Director of Security, Policing, and Enforcement, emphasized just how important this is: 'We want women and girls to be safe and feel safe.' Research has shown that many women feel uneasy while waiting for buses, especially when it’s dark or quiet. With these cameras in place, TfL hopes to reduce those anxieties.
The specially designed cameras are equipped to actively prevent and detect crime. The Metropolitan Police will have live access to the feeds, meaning they can act quickly if something goes wrong. This is all part of TfL's larger mission to create a safe and welcoming transport network for everyone.
On top of that, to mark White Ribbon Day, TfL partnered with football clubs Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and Crystal Palace to spread the message about male violence against women. The clubs' players will be sharing messages about bystander interventions over the next couple of weeks, and you’ll also see white ribbons and new lighting on some of TfL's trains and trams.
