Violence Against Women

EDM number 866 in 2008-09, proposed by Alan Meale on 24/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Crimes of violence.

That this House is alarmed to note that every year about 3 million women in the United Kingdom experience violence, which alone costs the nation over £40 billion per annum, is aware that the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the End Violence Against Women Campaign, Amnesty International UK and a range of other like-minded organisations have published a new Map of Gaps Report which highlights inadequate services provisions available in certain areas of Britain for women who experience rape, forced marriage, domestic or other violence; and calls upon the Government to take action to fill such gaps to ensure that women who find themselves in violent situations are given the necessary level of support they need.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
