Are there enough women in the placemaking professions to push the agenda for women-centric streets or are we just going to end up with more DMRB nonsense?
Get all the juice in this week’s Sketch!

With the support of over 50 organisations, we are calling on the Government to remove barriers that prevent migrant and vulnerable women to exercise their #humanrights.
No borders. No barriers. Just protection.

Thank you @catherinefookesmp.bsky.social for raising our new report in the House of Commons today.

The more I read through the Freedom from Violence and Abuse: a cross-government strategy to build a safer society for women and girls, the more unrealistic it’s beginning to sound 😫
What are your thoughts on the strategy? 🤔
#VAWGStrategy
This is the British government’s idea of commitment to halving male violence against women and girls.
Judging by attendance, not much commitment at all.

Early action is vital to end violence against women and girls.
Yesterday marked a big step forward! The newly published #VAWGStrategy tackles the devastating harm faced by women and girls.
Early intervention saves lives, so we’re pleased to see a strong focus on child sexual abuse, exploitation, and education.
Together, we can create a safer future. 📢
👏🏻 The long awaited MVAWG strategy is finally here!👏🏻
I will collect my thoughts once I've had a chance to sit down and properly read it!
I've seen mixed opinions. What's everyone's thoughts so far?

Quickly scanning the VAWG Strategy and deeply disappointed that even on page 15 underneath the title Defining Violence against Women and Girls, coercive control is not included.
The title of this strategy says it all actually, Freedom from Violence and Abuse but not control.

If VAWG is a national emergency, why didn’t all 650 MPs turned up to the three-times-pushed back launch of the VAWG Strategy today?
#VAWG #vawgstrategy
Early action is vital to end violence against women and girls.
The #VAWGStrategy published today is a step towards addressing the horrifying scale of serious harm faced by women and girls.
We know that early action is vital, so we are pleased to see a focus on child sexual abuse and exploitation and the prioritisation of education.
📢Government publishes its cross-government strategy to tackle violence against women and girls.
We welcome this first step toward halving VAWG in a decade, with accountability vital for real change.

I want to know which treatments specifically there will be additional capacity for, and how much, from NHS #vawgstrategy
CBT is not enough for CPTSD. 8 sessions is not enough. How much EMDR? How much RTMS? Integrative psychotherapists?
Because zero current + zero extra
still = zero total.
TLDR (1/4):
This commitment follows a joint letter from the @iwf.org.uk - including @nspcc.bsky.social, @barnardos.org.uk & @internetmatters.bsky.social urging the Home Secretary to ensure children were not forgotten.

After widespread concern that victims of child sexual abuse might be left out of the UK’s flagship VAWG strategy, the Government has now pledged to take “concrete actions” to protect them.

TLDR 👇

Great 🧵👇🏾to round off the #VAWGTakeover at #LabourConference - we we ended with power and emotion. Now we anticipate the #VAWGStrategy - we hope that the government has taken the concerns of the whole sector on board, especially from our sisters in by and for organisations.
In light of this, our CEO, Fay Maxted OBE made a statement, addressing our member agencies and the UK Home Office.
