“Listening to the compelling, extremely thought- provoking and passionate talk by Poppy Murray was the highlight of the event. She delivered her BE LADS presentation to a large group of police officers perfectly. The fact that you could see eyes watering from those in attendance showed that what she said hit home. Everyone should hear Poppy speak.”

The impact of Poppy’s powerful presentation was incredible, creating huge interest from delegates, the likes of which I have not seen before. Her key message, that “it’s not all men, but it affects all women and all men can help” is ingenious, true, and thought-provoking.

With her BE LADS Campaign, Poppy has added great value, support, and a fresh dimension to our various consortium activities to prevent violence against women and girls and domestic abuse. Men have a fundamental role to play in improving safety for women, and the BE LADS Campaign is a highly effective initiative that provides practical advice to men who want to help.

Poppy’s BE LADS campaign is really helping to shift the perspectives and notions surrounding violence against women and girls. For too long, the focus has been on the actions of victim-survivors as opposed to the actions of the perpetrators. The BE LADS campaign is a seriously informative piece of work that has a place in our educational institutions, police forces, and, quite honestly, any workplace.

She raised some brilliant key points and strategies on how we can all support each other within our community, which I will be taking forward personally. We are all lucky to have someone like Poppy driving this initiative, and I would encourage many others to attend one of her talks.
