The figure is around 35 times the number in April 2020, when it stood at 11,042. The government is set to launch a new strategy to tackle violence against women and girls to help those affected and bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice. Lockdown has provided the perfect conditions for women and girls to be abused. Weve also strengthened the law to protect victims through FGM protection orders, created a new offence of failing to protect a girl from FGM, and have provided a statutory guidance to professionals who may come into contact with children at risk of FGM, so they can spot the signs and know how to help. In that area alone, there were 309,000 fewer admissions.
