Empowering women: A recent YouGov poll (Oct 2021) revealed that over 80% of women in the UK consider nightlife to be unsafe due to the presence of predatory individuals and issues related to alcohol/substance abuse (source). At World Citizens, we are actively working to change this narrative. We design our events to prioritize the safety and enjoyment of all attendees, ensuring a pleasant evening for everyone.
