Men's Violence Against Women and Children

Purpose of the Group

The purpose of the group is to establish a forum for debate on the issue of men's violence against women and children. It is intended that the remit be broad enough to include the issues of rape, domestic violence, physical and emotional and sexual abuse. The work of the group will focus on the 3P's: prevention, protection and provision.
