Leesh Daniells, 22, Campaigns and Outreach lead, said: \u201cWe\u2019ll keep campaigning, and the day that it is made a stand-alone offence, our work will continue to hold people accountable for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so unempowering to report to the police in the way that our criminal justice system works at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group was invited to parliament in March by MP Judith Cummins, who is an advocate for taking action against spiking. They discussed making spiking a stand-alone offence and what this law would look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Miss Daniells said: \u201cWe\u2019ve created the Safe Place Project where we certify places on how to be victim-led. We want to move the narrative from blaming victims to blaming perpetrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019d like to see training for venues being made mandatory in terms of their licencing. We recently trained Wakefield to become the first Safe Place City, so that means every venue you go to will have the same response in dealing with spiking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Egalitarian-at-Parliament-with-Judith-768x1024.jpeg\")
