Women and girls should be able enjoy their basic right to feel safe in their everyday lives.

Women are still being “failed” in many areas of life, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has warned in its largest ever review of women’s rights.

In its new report, Pressing for progress: women’s rights and gender equality in 2018, which was presented to the United Nations in Geneva on 23 July 2018, the Commission has said the UK government needs to take more action to better protect women and girls from violence.
