VIOLENCE against women and girls (VAWG) is a “national emergency” with nearly 3,000 crimes recorded every day, a leading police chief has warned in a new report.
More than one million violent crimes against women and girls were recorded by police in 2022-23, according to a report commissioned by the National Police Chiefs Council and the College of Policing.
Today’s report estimates that at least one in every 12 women will be a victim per year, equating to two million women, with the exact number expected to be much higher because of crimes that go unreported.
