We need your voice!

Women – we want to hear your views on developing a Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy in Northern Ireland!

The Women’s Policy Group (NI) are asking women to complete this short survey to gather views on issues relating to the development of a Violence Against Women and Girls strategy for NI.

Statistics show that Northern Ireland is the most dangerous place in Europe to be a woman, with three times more murders of women than England or Wales, yet Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK or Ireland without a strategy to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

The Executive Office is finally starting to develop a strategy, and we are asking for the views of women to inform our written response and to ensure our this strategy has the lived experiences and voices of women at the core.

If you are a woman based in Northern Ireland, please share your views with us in this short survey. All responses are completely anonymous.
