Create a 3-digit national phone number for domestic abuse and VAWG
This petition calls for a 3-digit phone number connecting domestic abuse and VAWG victims immediately to specialist support in both emergency and non-emergency situations.
A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK and in the year ending March 2023 police recorded 103,135 rape and serious sexual offences. VAWG feels isolating, but the numbers show that women aren't alone. A national telephone number would provide vulnerable women with a clear, immediate point of contact for advice in emergency and non-emergency situations. This aligns with police chiefs' 2024 call for a whole-system approach to DA and VAWG and would strengthen responses across the board.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
