Derry public meeting over recent sexually motivated attacks on women

A public meeting is scheduled to take place in Derry next week to discuss the series of recent violent attacks against women in the city.

Organisers Alliance for Choice Derry are calling on women and LGBTQ+ members in the community to come together to create solutions to campaign around in the wake of the attacks.

The event, which is to be held at St Columb’s Hall on Thursday, November 14, follows two more incidents of violence against women in the city over the weekend.

“Following the recent string of attacks against women and girls in Derry, we understand people are scared, exhausted and angered,” event organisers said.

“We want you to get involved and have your voice heard.

“We want our community to come together to create a list of demands we can campaign around, to make things better for our sisters.”

The group added that due to the sensitive nature of the topic, men will not be admitted to this meeting. However, as their campaign progress, they said this “will likely change”.

On Friday, a woman was assaulted in a sexually motivated attack in the Drumahoe area of the city before fighting off an armed attacker with a torch.

This was followed by a second woman being attacked whilst walking her dog in the Top of the Hill area at around 3pm on Saturday.

The man involved in this incident was also armed with a knife and police are investigating to determine if the two attacks are linked.

Police have announced that they have implemented a “focused, tactical patrolling plan” which includes “a high visibility police presence in key areas” and “an increased police presences across the city in the coming days”.
