On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women & Girls and the start of 16 days of activism, I’m determined to eradicate gender-based violence. Here are some of the things we’re doing in London:
➡️ Teaching young people about healthy relationships in schools
➡️ Funding for police to be trained to work sensitively with communities
➡️ Supporting the partnership of police, justice, health and community sectors to intervene with perpetrators to address the underlying causes of offending and prevent reoffending
➡️ Ensuring support services are able to deliver specialist services for victims & survivors of domestic abuse & sexual violence, grassroots organisations & places of refuge
Our strategy for combating violence against women and girls aims to deliver lasting change
