Eve's Law And Victims Of Domestic Violence

EDM number 900 in 2013-14, proposed by Robert Flello on 18/12/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Courts, Crimes of violence and Data protection.

That this House recognises that victims of domestic violence and abuse are being placed at risk when forced to give their safe address in open court in unrelated proceedings; supports Eve's Law to address this dangerous anomaly; further supports Eve's Marker which would red flag the personal information of a victim of abuse as confidential and highly sensitive and would ensure that the data would never be publicly disclosed unless exceptional circumstances demanded it; notes that Eve's Law would protect victims of domestic violence in court on an unrelated matter; further notes that Eve's Law would close an anomaly which may deter victims of domestic violence from reporting abuse; and urges the Government to introduce Eve's Law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs.
