A walk to stand together against violence towards women and girls takes place later this month.
Everyone is invited to join the Reclaim the Night Walk in Oldbury on Wednesday 25 November.
The event, organised by The Safer Sandwell Partnership with Black Country Women's Aid, Sandwell Council and West Midlands Police, will also mark the start of Sandwell Stands – a campaign to mark 16 Days of Action against Gender-Based Violence.
It’s the second year of the walk, which was attended by around 150 people in 2025.
Sandwell Council’s cabinet member for enforcement Councillor Bob Jones said: “Everyone is invited to this walk, which we are organising to stand up against violence, harassment and abuse against women and girls.
“This is a peaceful, family-friendly, stewarded walk and everyone who lives, works or studies in Sandwell is welcome, but please register so we can plan safely for numbers.
“It’s a chance for everyone to show support for survivors and those currently experiencing abuse, while celebrating the strength of our communities.”
