People more concerned about violence against women than immigration, poll shows

"A poll conducted as part of the report reveals that around nine in ten adults (88 per cent) say they are concerned about VAWG, placing it only slightly behind the NHS (91 per cent) and the cost of living (93 per cent)."

"The report warns that decades of underinvestment and inattention have eroded women's trust, meaning that the systems designed to respond to VAWG are failing."

"The government has put a mission to tackle immigration at the centre of its agenda, forming a key part of Labour's plan to win back votes from Reform UK amid devastating approval ratings."

A new report indicates that violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a greater concern for Britons than immigration. The Health Equality Foundation's findings show that 88% of adults are worried about VAWG, ranking it just behind the NHS and cost of living concerns. Decades of neglect have eroded trust in systems meant to address VAWG. The government has focused on immigration in its agenda, but public sentiment suggests a pressing need for more action on VAWG.
