Carrie Johnson has emphasized the importance of early intervention to address the distorted attitudes that contribute to violence against women and girls. Speaking at the End Violence Against Women and Girls Wiltshire Coalition Summit held at Marlborough College, Johnson highlighted the need to reach children, particularly boys, at a younger age to prevent such violence.

As a mother of two young boys, Johnson expressed concern over the harmful content accessible to young people online and the influence it may have on their perceptions of gender and violence. She called for more proactive efforts to engage with children about these issues before harmful attitudes take root.

Johnson has been involved in campaigning on behalf of victims of John Worboys, a serial sex offender who targeted her in 2007, although she was not physically assaulted. Drawing on her experiences, she pointed to the ongoing challenges faced by survivors of sexual violence, including systemic failures within the justice system. Johnson noted that women affected by such crimes often find themselves inadequately protected and unsupported.

Her remarks at the summit underscored a broader call for society and authorities to adopt preventative measures and improve the response to violence against women and girls, focusing on education and early awareness to reduce future incidents.
