Violence against women and girls (VAWG) organisations across all four regions of the UK release a statement one year after the VAWG sector issued an urgent call to action to Government on VAWG during the pandemic.
We, alongside the Centre for Women's Justice are launching a Call To Action to keep the pressure on the CPS and the Government and ensure that there is justice for rape survivors.
Today’s (Monday 15 March) judgement delivered online, by three senior Justices – including the Lord Chief Justice – declines to examine the evidence presented by the Claimant group and instead accepts the case made by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) that there had been no change 'in substance’ to the policy that the CPS apply when they consider whether or not to prosecute a serious sexual offence.
Campaigners say “we were right to bring this case and we are deeply disappointed with the outcome, which brings us no closer to institutions having to answer for a catastrophic collapse in rape justice”

This International Women’s Day sees the return of the Domestic Abuse Bill in the House of Lords as it enters Report Stage. This is the final chance to make the necessary changes to the Bill to ensure migrant women can access equally effective support and protection from abuse.
With your support, we lobby and campaign for strategic approaches to ending violence against women and challenge the wider public attitudes that tolerate and condone violence against women.
