Following a series of high-profile attacks on women in 2020 and 2021, tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) has become a vital priority for the Government. With the Home Office providing £23.5 million of funding for police and councils to improve the safety of women and girls in 2021, it is clear important steps are being taken to tackle gender-based violence. Through sharing best practice and continued collaboration between police, charities and local authorities, these organisations can work together to improve support for victims of all forms of gender-based violence and prevent incidents occurring in the first place.

• 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse and 1 in 5 sexual assault during her lifetime, according to a 2019 report by the Home Office
• The police are working with the Home Office to introduce a National Policing Lead for Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls
• 4 out of 5 women felt unsafe walking alone after dark in an open space, according to an Office for National Statistics survey in June 2021
• There were 24,856 offences of coercive control recorded by police in the year ending March 2020, up from 16,679 in the previous year, according to the Office for National Statistics
