TUC delegates demand justice for rape and domestic violence survivors

TUC Womens Committee chairwoman and British Dietetic Association (BDA) delegate Annette Mansell-Green moved an emergency motion today at the TUC Congress on the issue.
She said the National Police Chiefs Council “finally” acknowledged in a July report that violence against women is a “national emergency” in England and Wales.
