The Independent emphasizes the urgent need for effective journalism to address critical issues like violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the US. A recent report by the National Audit Office (NAO) critiques a government strategy intended to reduce VAWG, stating that, despite significant funding, outcomes for victims have not improved. The report highlights the lack of a coordinated approach by the Home Office, which has struggled to gain support from other departments. This failure comes at a crucial time for Labour's pledge to halve VAWG rates within the next decade, underscoring the need for comprehensive reform and accountability in government strategy.
Despite millions spent on the strategy, victims of violence against women have not seen improved outcomes, revealing a significant lack of effective cross-government response.
The National Audit Office indicates that to halve violence against women within a decade, the Home Office must lead a coordinated response addressing underlying causes.
