A UK Home Office strategy to target perpetrators of misogynistic crimes that was unveiled in July will not be up and running until next year
• End Femicide – An Observer campaign to stop the killing of women by men
The government’s much-hyped information campaign targeting perpetrators of violence against women will not be launched until next year, the Observer has learned. This comes just as new research indicates the vast majority of females have experienced unwanted violent, aggressive or sexual behaviours on UK public transport.
As part of the home secretary’s strategy to tackle violence against women and girls launched in July, Priti Patel promised a “multimillion communications campaign with a focus on targeting perpetrators and harmful misogynistic attitudes”.
