Women: Homicide
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Home Affairs on the prevention of femicide.
Answered by Jess Phillips
The scale of violence against women and girls in our country is intolerable and this Government has set out a mission to halve these crimes over the next decade. This is an ambitious aim that will require a transformative approach to the way we work together across Government through the safer streets mission.
We will be publishing a new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy later this year, which will cover all forms of violence and abuse which disproportionately impact women, including femicide.
