We were proud to join the IC Change campaign with over 80 women’s organisations urging the Government to ratify the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence without reservations.
The letter was sent to the Home Secretary ahead of the 10-year anniversary of the UK signing the Istanbul Convention on 8 June.
You can read the letter here.
UPDATE
The UK Government has ratified the Istanbul Convention on violence against women. Unfortunately, they chose to opt-out of articles 44 and 59. We will continue to raise our voice to support the work of Southall Black Sisters (@SBSisters) and Latin American Women’s Rights Service (@lawrsuk) on this.
