We have submitted our response to the Independent Strategic Review of Funding and Commissioning of violence against women and girls (VAWGS) by drawing from the experience of our staff, as well as people we represent within the Scottish Women’s Rights Centre (SWRC), the Scottish Refugee and Migrant Centre (SMRC) and the Scottish Anti-Trafficking and Exploitation Centre (SATEC).
We believe that challenging violence against women and girls (VAWG) requires a multi-faceted approach. This includes: a focus on prevention aimed at redressing the inequalities that lead to violence, on strengthening and improving our protection of survivors, and also ensuring and effective response leading to prosecution of perpetrators of violence.
