We are thrilled to announce the addition of Karen Whybro, Women’s Safety Consultant, as our newest collaboration partner to our cause-related marketing and branding team.

Speaking about our recent collaboration, Karen said: “I’m so excited to be working with BEME on delivering social marketing campaigns to create safer cultures for all!”

Creating Safer Spaces for Women in Public, at Work and Online.

Karen Whybro is a Women’s Safety Consultant and Activist, dedicated to providing safer spaces for women in public, at work and online. 

Since beginning campaigning following the murder of Sarah Everard in 2020, Karen has worked with a multitude of partners, from business improvement districts (BIDS), local authorities and universities to create a multi-disciplinary approach that strengthens and widens the breadth of effectiveness in delivery. 

Having launched the recent Chelmsford Women’s Safety Charter, Karen has gone on to work with Essex Police to develop their awareness of gender equality, as well as continuing to work with the community safety partnership on a range of projects around the topic of safety throughout the UK.

Our Co-Founder, Lee Callaghan, welcomed Karen to the team by saying:

‘Having worked with Karen for many years on a number of cause-related campaigns, most notably our recent Women’s Safety Charter, we are delighted to officially welcome her to the BEME collaborations team.’

We also saw a reported 15% reduction in Stalking and Harassment Offences in Chelmsford for the rolling year.
