answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2022 answer text <p>Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is a government priority. VAWG is unacceptable and preventable.</p><p>To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Home Secretary visited Refuge – a charity providing specialist services to victims and survivors of domestic abuse. The Home Secretary saw, first-hand, the National Domestic Violence Helpline the Home Office funds, which offers support and advice to victims and survivors of domestic abuse.</p><p>I visited Project Foundation at the Hampshire Fire and Police Headquarters to learn more about the methods they are using to disrupt and address abusive behaviour, whilst also protecting victims and survivors from further harm.</p><p>In the week leading up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we launched the VAWG Support and Specialist Services competition for ‘by and for’ services to ensure support is in place for victims and survivors which best serves their needs. This will award up to £8.4 million over two years.</p><p>The ‘Enough’ campaign is our national communications campaign to challenge the harmful behaviours that exist within wider society, educate young people about healthy relationships and consent, and ensure victims can recognise abuse and receive support. To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, it collaborated with influencers and commercial partners to share pledges in support of the day via social media and public relations activity.</p><p>In relation to tackling violence against women and girls internationally, the Foreign Secretary hosted a conference on ‘sexual violence in conflict’. Over 1,000 delegates from over 57 countries came together to reaffirm their commitment to preventing sexual violence in conflict. At the conference, the UK launched a new three-year Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Strategy, announcing further funding of up to £12.5 million to deliver its objectives.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 07/12/2022 12:01:44 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>Violence Against Women and Girls crimes are often hidden and can go unreported to the police.</p><p>This means that police recorded crime data do not provide a reliable measure of trends in levels of Violence Against Women and Girls. Recently, levels of reporting have gone up. This may in part be due to improvements in police recording practices, but also simply because more victims and survivors are coming forward. We want to see these increase so that more victims and survivors can be supported, and so more perpetrators are brought to justice.</p><p>The Crime Survey for England and Wales provides a more reliable measure of prevalence and covers crimes that may not have been reported to the police. In the year to March 2022,</p><ul><li>5.7% of adults aged 16 to 59 experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2022.</li><li>2.7% of adults aged 16 to 59 were victims of sexual assault</li><li>0.4% of adults aged 16 to 59 had experienced rape, including attempts.</li><li>4.7% of adults aged 16 to 59 had experienced stalking,</li></ul><p>There were no significant change compared with the year ending March 2020, the last period for which data were published.</p><p>For domestic abuse, rape and stalking, longer-term trends have also remained relatively stable. Whereas, sexual offences have seen fluctuations with no clear trends.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 08/12/2022 12:52:23 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines
