Lockdown has provided the perfect conditions for women and girls to be abused. 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. The figure is around 35 times the number in April 2020, when it stood at 11,042. In that area alone, there were 309,000 fewer admissions. However, that target has not been met since 2016.
