UK plans tougher jail terms for murders involving ex-partners or strangulation to combat violence against women.

The UK government plans to introduce harsher jail terms for murders involving ex-partners or strangulation in England and Wales, aiming to combat violence against women. This follows recommendations from an independent review and will be implemented next year. The government also tasked the Law Commission with reviewing the broader sentencing framework for murder and homicide. These measures are part of a broader initiative to reduce violence against women.
