Call for evidence: violence against women and girls

Call for evidence: violence against women and girls

The Home Office has re-opened its call for evidence seeking further input from women and girls who have been subject to violence.

On the gov.uk website, it states:

“We are seeking your views to help inform the development of the government’s next Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy. We are particularly keen to hear from people who may feel underrepresented in previous strategies or who feel their circumstances were not supported by existing services.

“In addition to those with lived experiences of these issues, we are also seeking the views of those with expertise in working with victims and survivors, those involved in preventative activity, and those involved in providing services. This includes relevant professionals, such as those working in social care, education, law enforcement, local government, public health and healthcare.

“Everyone aged 16 or over is welcome to contribute to the call for evidence, you do not have to have experienced violence or abuse to take part.”

More information about the survey and the survey itself can be found here.
