Violence against women and girls describes forms of violence and abuse that disproportionally affect women and girls and are usually perpetrated by men, so it is important to name this as male violence. It covers a range of unacceptable and deeply distressing crimes which predominantly affect women and girls including rape and other sexual offences, stalking, domestic abuse, ‘revenge porn’ and ‘upskirting’, as well as many others. These crimes and behaviours can affect victims of all ages, abilities, sexualities and backgrounds.
