US EditionJess Phillips on tackling violence against women and girls: 'I've tried to talk to my children about strangulation, it's not normal sexual behaviour'
The strategy includes banning strangulation in pornography and mandatory school lessons, aiming to halve over one million annual incidents of violence against women and girls, police said.
- Jess Phillips, safeguarding minister, today unveiled the strategy aiming to halve violence against women and girls in a decade after delays and 18 months into the Labour government.
- Earlier this year the National Audit Office concluded successives failed to deliver a whole-of-government approach, while police chiefs in 2024 described violence against women and girls as "a national emergency" after over one million incidents in 2022/23.
- The strategy contains an action plan and new coordination mechanisms including an inter-ministerial VAWG group, VAWG-specific staff in Number 10, and measures like banning strangulation in pornography.
- Goddard's resignation highlighted criticism of the minister, who says she has absorbed criticism and now has police protection after online abuse earlier this year.
- Phillips warns failing to act risks doubling VAWG as the age profile of perpetrators drops, urging parents to talk explicitly with their children about violent pornography.
