WWA have called on the Assembly Members to support our campaign for the Welsh Assembly Government to develop and implement an integrated strategy on Violence Against Women based on the foundations of gender equality and human rights.

The campaign is supported by Women’s Voice, Amnesty International Wales, Equality and Human Rights Commission, National Federation of Women’s Institutes, MEWN Cymru, NUS Wales Women’s Committee and New Pathways to name just a few.
