A very important report from the White Hall spending watchdog that the UK's “Trends of Violence against Women and Girls” is getting worse despite the long -standing government's promises and strategies.
The National Audit Bureau reports four years after the government's major response (VAWG) began after the murder of Savina Nessa and Sara Eberd after the murder of Sarah Evard.
In the Watchdog, the effort of “rose” is that VAWG affects one in 12 people, England and Wales, and causes physical, mental, social, and economic harm to survivors. It was a problem.
The government's 2021 strategic review before working on VAWG revealed that it did not help the victims or have a long -term social change. This review states that the department, which has been advanced, lacks a clear picture of how money is used and what policies have actually worked.
“The government's variety of approaches to work on the trend of violence between women and girls have failed to improve the results of the victims so far,” he said. Brown IR says. “I'm sorry that I don't know where the home office is spending money and whether it creates a difference.”
This report was put pressure on the KEIR STARMER government to urgently deal with concerns in a balloon report of violence to women and girls, which accounted for 20 % of all crimes recorded by police from 2022 to 2013. Masu.
The priority government has promised to halve Vawg in 10 years. The athleticist said that it was impossible to praise without a commitment in all government categories, and without fighting the British deep discrimination and women's disgust.
The ratio of sexual assault (the percentage of assaulted population every year) increased from 3.4 % of the annual population to 4.3 % in 2023 to 24, but the rate of home abuse for women is the rate of home abuse. It fell from 9.2 % to 7.4. %, The report stated. Police reporting on rape and sexual assault increased from 34,000 to 123,000 in the same period. This is because the record has been improved.
The report states that a home office, which was charged with VAWG, is not currently leading an effective government. [the government’s] The Ambition Home Office must lead the correspondence of all adjusted systems that deal with the Vawg cause. “
The labor government told the campaign that the Vawg policy “analytical sprint” was implemented behind the scenes, and a new strategy was expected in late spring. Home Office Spokesman says that this report exposes the previous government's failure and has experienced domestic abuse, how to deal with stalkers and 999 control room abuse. He said he pointed out an embedded review. A spokeswoman said that he was a pioneer in approaching the government.
In 2021, the Secretary of the Interior, Pretty Patel, also promised. “Bring a true permanent change”In the report, the government said, “It has not been steadily since the start of the Vawg strategy.” Despite having a dedicated team under conservatives, the National Audit Bureau said that the department felt that it was difficult to get the support from other governments. The surveillance group met the first year after the launch, and the ministerial groups established to track their progress met only three times in four years.
Earlier, the conservative government said that after a comprehensive review of the criminal judicial approach, 2021 reviews and the introduction of 2021, they have achieved a great progress when working on rape. Home abuse method。
However, when he criticized the lack of overall progress, the report discovered:
After the newsletter promotion
-
Unlike the illegal drug strategy of 2021, the home office did not have VAWG's “centralized funding”, but on average between 2021-22 and 2023 to 24 days. It was penetrating the percentage VAWG budget.
-
Vawg had no consistent definition. The home office contains all the victims, but the police include only women and girls, making it difficult to measure progress in a consistent way.

78 % of the strategic commitments were satisfied by July 2024, but some are not new, and are related to “most” in addition to additional funding, holding meetings, and publishing new guidance. Ta.
The report has discovered that most of the recent prevention activities, which were introduced in recent years, focused on reducing re -attacks, rather than avoiding early crime.
“This is a concern that the meaningful primary work is being seen,” said Andrea Simon, the Director of the Female Union's final violence. “I know that Vawg is particularly reported, so the lack of precautions in prevention is deplorable,” she added: “The new Vawg strategy is indispensable for a commitment of spending that matches the size and seriousness of the trend of violations.”
Those who worked in the sector said in the report that the plan to increase the trust of the police was impaired by the “abilities that exist to manage the increase in demand”. Examples of how women are disappointed by the criminal judicial system, this report is 158 days in the Rape case in England and Wales, between the police introduction and the accusation from the Crown Prosecutor's Bureau. I noticed that it was there. The average is 46 days.
Women's assistance Isabel Yunne invested the government in reliable data and encouraged to cooperate with services that support victims. “Our concern is that it was an autumn budget that was difficult to violence between women and girls. In this field, this sector is really hard in terms of financing in this field,” she says. He added that the final home office distribution of funding to work on Vawg was not yet. It was announced. “The commitment to half the Vawg is really welcomed, but if you have a cultural attitude change, you can be convinced that long -term changes will be seen in this field.”
