💨 Abstract

To meet its goal of reducing violence against women and girls by half, the UK government needs increased investment, according to senior watchdogs. Dame Nicole Jacobs and Baroness Newlove urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to boost funding for victims and survivors in the upcoming spending review. They warned that current funding cuts lead to ineffective policies. The Home Office is negotiating its budget, with concerns raised about potential cuts affecting police funding and operations.
