flag UK police face scrutiny over widespread mistreatment of women reporting sexual and domestic violence, prompting reforms amid ongoing victim distrust.

flag A BBC investigation reveals widespread misogyny and racism in UK police forces, with over 300 women describing being mistreated when reporting sexual and domestic violence. flag Many said they were dismissed, mocked, or told to "grow a pair," with some alleging racial bias and disbelief due to lack of evidence. flag Survivors reported being ignored despite court orders and experiencing re-traumatization. flag In response, police leadership is improving training, vetting, and misconduct procedures, while the government emphasized new powers to dismiss officers for gross misconduct. flag Despite reforms, many victims remain distrustful and fearful of reporting abuse.
