Report: Violence against Women and Girls

The 6th report on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG), has been published online by the Human Rights Joint Committee. This comes in the wake of the Government's 2014 Action Plan and an earlier paper by the Home Office, providing statistics and details of local and national support agencies and governmental support services for victims. An analysis of the key prosecution issues surrounding VAWG is given by the Crown Prosecution Service in this report.

For resources on the topic, take a look at the  'End Violence against Women' campaign group's website for a list of resources which aim to support schools and teachers. Further afield, the World Bank have a website dedicated to VAWG issues worldwide; they have produced a detailed introduction to the subject, with an accompanying Resource Guide.
