About Us
Who We Are
We are an unprecedented coalition of individuals and organisations who are calling on the Government, public bodies and others to take concerted action to end violence against women. We are activists, survivors, academics and service providers.
Our vision
Our vision is of a society where women and girls can live their lives free from violence and the threat of violence.
Campaign goals
To achieve this we have four campaign goals:
- For violence against women to be understood as a cause and consequence of women's inequality
- To raise awareness about the nature, extent and impacts of violence against women in the UK, and how it can be prevented
- For the UK Government and devolved administrations to develop integrated and strategic approaches to ending violence against women
- To share good practice across the UK and learn from the experience in Scotland where a framework is being developed
