The Domestic Abuse Bill

Yesterday the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill passed through the House of Commons, the first step towards protecting victims of this heinous crime and ensuring perpetrators are properly punished.

  • Millions of people have suffered domestic abuse – it is unacceptable, and the reason why it is so important we shine a light on it and tackle this heinous crime. 
     
  • That is why the government has brought forward a ground-breaking Domestic Abuse Bill through the House of Commons, which will strengthen protections for victims, whilst also tackling perpetrators at the earliest stage and ensuring they feel the full force of the law. 
     
  • With this bill, which has been widely welcomed by charities, and by bolstering law enforcement, we will keep victims safe and ensure survivors of this horrendous crime get the support they need to rebuild their lives knowing justice has been done.
