Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls: Funding

Inquiry

This short inquiry is aimed at influencing the content of the Government’s new VAWG strategy, which is expected later this year.

The aim is to examine the link between funding and outcomes. The inquiry will explore themes around funding that the Government needs to address in its strategy to be able to meet its policy objective of halving VAWG in a decade.

Please note that the Committee is unable to consider or assist with individual cases. If you are in immediate danger, contact the police.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse, the Government has published information about helplines and websites that may be able to help.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 11:59pm on 9 April 2025.
