Councillor Hazel Malcolm presented the Tackling Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Including Violence against Women and Girls Strategy 2019-2022 for endorsement. The existing Strategy had been refreshed and updated to encompass domestic violence, honour-based violence, forced marriage,

female genital mutilation, sexual violence and the recently added issue of stalking and harassment. The Strategy would build on partnership working, focussing on three strands of delivery: prevention, provision, protection and justice and performance. 

Resolved:

That the Tackling Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Including Violence against Women and Girls Strategy 2019-2022 be endorsed.
