CEEUPS contributes to LEPH Masterclass on Women, Police and Security
CEEUPS partnered with the Law Enforcement & Public Health (LEPH) conference in Ottawa, Canada, to contribute to the Masterclass on Women, Police and Security: Global Perspectives and Challenges.
This masterclass provided a valuable platform for practitioners, professionals, scholars, and students to engage in meaningful dialogue around the progress, challenges, and lessons learned in advancing gender equity and safety within policing and security sectors worldwide.
Prof Emma Williams (above, with Global LEPH Association convenor and speaker Dr Melissa Jardine) shared insights from her work on violence against women and girls (VAWG) research, exploring what meaningful and inclusive reform looks like for all women.
Senior Research Fellows Richard Harding and Arun Sondhi (above) also presented findings from Operation Soteria (Project Bright Light), offering critical reflections on systemic change within policing practices.
We are also pleased to announce that the LEPH 2026 Conference will take place in Leeds in September next year, continuing the global conversation on the intersection of law enforcement and public health.
