Government paper on ending violence against women and girls

On 25 November 2011, to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the coalition government launched a paper outlining their ambition and guiding principles to tackle violence against women and girls.

The principles of this vision are to:

  • prevent violence from happening by challenging the attitudes and behaviours which foster it and intervening early where possible to prevent it
  • provide adequate support where violence does occur
  • work in partnership to obtain the best outcome for victims and their families
  • take action to reduce the risk to women and girls who are victims of these crimes and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice
