Leading women's rights groups have warned that the far right movement has hijacked the issue of women's safety for political gain. More than 100 organisations have written to prime minister Sir Keir Starmer to urge the government to stop far-right groups from weaponising violence against women and girls (VAWG) for a racist, anti-migrant agenda.
