A new strategy for tackling violence against women – where do we start?

The UK government is committed to halving violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. To do so will require a fundamental shift in how it interacts with businesses and civil society. That’s why Women’s Aid held its first Public Policy Summit, sponsored by TSB, to consider how we collectively respond to this challenge.

Leadership in Parliament is not just for men

For me, International Women’s Day is twofold: it’s a day to advocate for the rights of women facing adversity, and to highlight the issues disproportionally faced by women and girls around the world.
