Please could you provide me with the following information, under the Freedom of Information Act:
A breakdown of the amount your authority has spent on campaigns combating misogyny since January 2021.
I understand some of the money may not have been spent yet but if you can provide me with how much has been budgeted for the campaign that would be great.
This includes spend on advertising, PRs and marketing advice etc.
Since Jan 2021 we have ran 2 ‘16 days of Action against violence against women and girls’ campaigns, one in 2022 and an upcoming in 2023 (November 2023). Although these are not solely dedicated to combatting misogyny, these will include very relevant messaging throughout the 16 days. These are campaigns delivered through the Interpersonal and gender based violence and abuse Partnership Board, so individual organisations will contribute resource to this alongside Devon County Council (DCC). However, DCC has taken the lead on social media messaging, providing promotional materials and marketplace events.
The actual and forecasted spent for 2022 and 2023 is approximately £4000.
Beyond this, schools may be running their own information campaigns within the school but we do not hold this information.
