Dr Deborah Jump, lecturer in crimonlogy at MMU, said: \u201cTypically it is usually males who are thought of when we talk about gangs and their impact, but many women are affected. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe area of gang-involved women is massively under-researched and, consequently, a lot is unknown but the impact is no less harmful. We want to change that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will support the young women to develop positive choices away from gangs.<\/p>\n
\u201cOften they can\u2019t remove themselves from their gang network \u2013 they may be related or connected in other ways \u2013 so we want to introduce positive elements into their network to empower them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTypically it is usually males who are thought of when we talk about gangs<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The university and Manchester Active Voices will work with local voluntary groups and agencies over the next three years and more than 100 young women in the region.<\/p>\n
The project will also have gender-specific programmes across Manchester, including football teams, female boxing clubs and theatre based on their experiences.<\/p>\n
MMU sociology lecturer Dr Susan O\u2019Shea said: \u201cThe issues these girls face are extremely complex and we hope to offer a suite of activities to support change in these.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea is to create a legacy and provide a knock-on effect whereby other young women can learn and resist the temptation to become gang involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can then build a legacy for themselves and their community by introducing positive elements to their networks. It is an incredibly powerful idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
