INTRODUCTION: Independent researchers from the Connect Centre for International Research
on Interpersonal Violence based in the School of Social Work at the University
of Central Lancashire were commissioned by the Welsh Government in 2013
to conduct research into violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual
violence services in Wales. The research aimed to inform the forthcoming
Ending Violence Against Women and Domestic Abuse (Wales) Bill,
implementation of the legislation and future policy more generally, as well as
informing future funding decisions.
The remit of the review covers:
Domestic abuse, including that experienced in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
and Transgender (LGBT) relationships and elder abuse.
Violence against women, including female genital mutilation (FGM),
forced marriage and honour-based violence.
Sexual violence including rape, sexual assault and harassment
Sexual exploitation including prostitution and trafficking1
for sexual
purposes.
Services for women and men who are victims or perpetrators of
violence against women, domestic abuse or sexual violence. The
review does not encompass criminal justice services or housing
services and, with the exception of prevention work, services for
children and young people in Wales were also excluded from this
study.
