Winter shouldn't mean a 'curfew' for women in outdoor exercise!
This Girl Can is advocating for change. Let's empower women to feel safer outdoors. Join the conversation and together #LetsLiftTheCurfew
Why should women have to consider changing their behaviour or habits when getting active during the winter months? Hear from some of our wonderful community on what they shouldn't have to do or feel when getting going for a walk, run or cycle. #ThisGirlCan #LetsLiftTheCurfew
It’s Wednesday again! Brrr hopefully you don’t get blown away tonight. Enjoy your run’s tonight. We love running together which makes all feel safe to go out. #WednesdayMotivation #chingford #LetsLiftTheCurfew #running Sport England
The days are getting longer and the evenings lighter, but women may still be worried about exercising alone in the evening, so let's keep the conversation going. Together, #LetsLiftTheCurfew

Another highlight was our #LetsLiftTheCurfew #ThisGirlCan running event centred around safety. 🏃♀️
With our research showing that 46% of women change their exercise habits during the darker months, we want to keep talking about it to make a change. 🗣
Research shows 48% of women prefer not to be active outside after dark meaning the Winter months can be especially difficult.
This Girl Can want to change that and raise awareness of the issue with their new #LetsLiftTheCurfew campaign.
