Women's Safety Blog
Welcome to my women’s safety blog, a trusted space for expert insights, practical advice, and the latest thinking on personal safety. Here, you’ll find strategies to strengthen awareness, guidance for staying safe while travelling solo, and support for handling potentially dangerous or threatening situations. My mission is to empower women with knowledge that reduces risks and builds confidence in everyday life.
I specialise in criminology-informed strategies to prevent violence against women, integrating insights from sociology and behavioural psychology, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Criminology, focusing on Synthesising Escalation Pattern Analysis Across the Dynamics of Intimate Partner Violence to Improve Lethality Assessments.
