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
