flag The UK is behind on reducing violence against women and girls, with delayed strategy and no new funding, despite warnings from the domestic abuse commissioner.

flag The domestic abuse commissioner for England and Wales, Dame Nicole Jacobs, has warned the UK government is falling short of its goal to halve violence against women and girls within a decade, citing delays in releasing a key strategy and no new funding for specialist services. flag She stressed that children exposed to domestic abuse face lasting emotional and educational harm due to inadequate support, while the government has only fully accepted 10 of her 66 recommendations. flag Though officials say they are updating school curricula and social work training, the commissioner insists urgent, comprehensive action is needed to protect victims and prevent future abuse.
