Violence against women and girls

• From: Home Office

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) are serious crimes. These crimes have a huge impact on our economy, health services, and the criminal justice system. Protecting women and girls from violence, and supporting victims and survivors of sexual violence, remains a priority of this government. In 2016 we published our Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy for this Parliament.
