Join the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health (FBMH) for our flagship International Women's Day event with Nazir Afzal OBE, University Chancellor, who will share insights and reflections around gender equity.
Nazir Afzal OBE rose to national prominence with some of the UK's highest-profile prosecutions as Chief Crown Prosecutor for NW England and formerly Director in London. His prosecutions of the Rochdale grooming gang and the former TV presenter Stuart Hall, amongst hundreds of others were ground-breaking and changed the landscape of child protection.
Nazir said it is vital we address misogyny, "the root cause" of violence against women.“We want to make sure that we understand this is not an issue about women's safety. There's an issue about male violence and that's what we need to address.” Source: ITV News
Join Dr Natalie Gardiner, FBMH Associate Dean for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and Dr Rachel Cowen, University Academic Lead for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (Gender and Sexual Orientation Equality) as they welcome Nazir to speak at our annual International Women’s Day event.
