Today's Home Affairs Committee report highlights the need for the Government to prioritise and invest in the prevention of men's violence against women and girls, to make our world safer for everyone. 

Chair of the Home Affairs Committee, Dame Karen Bradley said "If the Government is to truly address violence against women and girls it will need to deal with the root causes – this means investing in prevention and funding research into what works.”
