The UK government is introducing "Raneem's Law," embedding domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms to improve police responses to domestic violence cases. Named after Raneem Oudeh, who was murdered by her ex-partner, this initiative aims to halve violence against women in a decade. It includes new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders with stricter penalties for abusers. The pilot program will begin in early 2025, focusing on urgent victim support.
