Implementation of the Strategic Framework to End Violence against Women and Girls
That this Assembly affirms that the Executive Office’s Strategic Framework to End Violence against Women and Girls must recognise that misogyny is a root cause of violence against women and girls; laments that since 2021, we have had the joint highest rate of femicide in Europe; expresses deep sadness that violence against women and girls is endemic here, with one woman killed every three months; regrets that victims of sexual and gender-based violence still face obstacles within the justice system and within society itself and that these obstacles prevent many women from reporting their abuse; condemns the budget cuts imposed by the British Government which significantly cut funding for public services, early intervention and rehabilitation services, community and voluntary sector services and Women’s Aid; and calls on the Executive Office to urgently implement, in full, the Strategic Framework to End Violence against Women and Girls to transform how society understands and responds to violence against women and girls.
