Home Affairs Committee: Violence Against Women and Girls strategy update
Committee hears from witnesses
The Home Affairs Committee will receive oral evidence on the government's Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy. This hearing will examine the current approach, progress, and effectiveness of policies and measures designed to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and harassment.
VAWG remains a critical public safety and social welfare issue affecting millions of women and girls across the UK. This committee inquiry holds the government to account on strategy delivery, resource allocation, and outcomes, influencing policy direction and funding priorities for police, support services, and prevention programmes that directly impact victim safety and perpetrator accountability.
