No one has the right to intimidate, harass or harm you — on the streets or at Carnival.
Unless you’re being detained, you can ask calmly if you’re free to go.
It’s legal to film in public. If something doesn’t feel right, capture it safely.
The R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Campaign is all about celebrating creativity, community, and cultural pride. It’s a call to recognise the roots of Carnival and the people who make it what it is.
Through our platforms and outreach, we’re encouraging deeper understanding and respect — for Carnival, for each other, and for the neighbourhoods that host this historic event.
Celebrating and amplifying the voices of marginalised communities and those most affected by knife crime, through the colour, music and unity of Carnival.
We work with partners who share our passion for change, from iconic brands to grassroots crews making a difference in their communities.
