Met Police Chief: Violence Against Women is a 'National Emergency'

Violence against women and girls is a 'national emergency' with nearly 3,000 crimes recorded every day, a leading police chief has warned in a new report.

Met Police Assistant Commissioner, Louisa Rolfe, explains what measures the police are taking to crack down on violence against women and girls.

Lisa Squire, whose daughter Libby was raped and murdered after being kidnapped walking home after a night out in 2019, says that the onus should be on men and boys to not commit any acts of violence against women and girls.

"The growing group of perpetrators are people under the age of 18"
Gimme a break. We all know who the "growing group" of perpetrators are.

What about that labour mp who said women should keep their mouths shut because it goes against diversity

2 million women? That"s equally to half the Muslim population.

Not surprised as the sentences handed out to domestic abusers are petty and no deterrent at all

2016 one of these specimens flashed at me whilst "enjoying himself" on public transport. Police were called, took statements and accessed cctv and initially took it very seriously wanting to arrest and charge. They then u turned and closed the case because he gave rail staff a fake name and address when they stopped him. I have never heard another thing about it from police so I guess he's been out there escalating for the last 8 years 🙄 women don't report because what is the point?

The policies enacted by the government have allowed a certain group of people to create a modern-day version of 'comfort women'.

that chief of the met is as impressive as a wet sponge...geez...

[ruthhadfield]

Richard is spot on. what we need is more restrictions to very extreme views and on p**n. what we also need to is more positive male role models in the early years.
what we shouldn't do is constantly telling young boys that they are bad because this will lead to young boys turning to this content.
let's so we still uphold the innocent until.proven guilty and not just prosecute on an allegation.

[Fionacampbell]

Literally 2 minutes ago we were happy to allow men in women’s spaces?! Does this mean everyone realises there was and continues to be a risk? Wow.. can’t keep up 😂

[bruteforce]

Andrew Hate (Tate) a petty man influencing common men.

Going back home will be the best thing for me, I am beginning to be disappointed with the UK

[Sneggers]

Victim? They are complainents and accusers till they're is a conviction.

[skymanifest]

Or as the mainstream media used to call it, "cultural enrichment".

no protection for some men getting harassed by women all the time that are dying for a relationship
