DESCRIPTION:Join the Faculty of Biology\, Medicine and Health (FBMH) for 
 our flagship International Women's Day event with Nazir Afzal OBE\, Univ
 ersity Chancellor\, who will share insights and reflections around gende
 r equity.\n\nNazir Afzal OBE rose to national prominence with some of th
 e UK's highest-profile prosecutions as Chief Crown Prosecutor for NW Eng
 land and formerly Director in London. His prosecutions of the Rochdale g
 rooming gang and the former TV presenter Stuart Hall\, amongst hundreds 
 of others were ground-breaking and changed the landscape of child protec
 tion.\n\nNazir said it is vital we address misogyny\, "the root cause" o
 f violence against women.“We want to make sure that we understand this i
 s not an issue about women's safety. There's an issue about male violenc
 e and that's what we need to address.” Source: ITV News\n\nJoin Dr Natal
 ie Gardiner\, FBMH Associate Dean for Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion
  and Dr Rachel Cowen\, University Academic Lead for Equality\, Diversity
