Violence Against Women And Girls

Spelthorne Safer Stronger Partnership understand that VAWG is both a form of discrimination and a violation of human rights. Locally we have adopted the Home Office and United Nations Declaration on Elimination of Violence against Women's definition: 

'Any act of gender-based violence that results in or is likely to result in physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women [or girls], including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty' (1993, Article 1)2

This definition incorporates many different forms of abuse, including the following:

• Domestic Abuse
• Sexual Violence
• Stalking
• Coercive and Controlling behaviour
• Trafficking for sexual exploitation
• Prostitution
• Female Genital Mutilation
• Forced Marriage and Honour Based Violence
