Persistently high levels of domestic violence, rape, sexual harassment, forced marriage and FGM mean that these issues should be a priority for every candidate in the upcoming General Election on June 8th.
EVAW have put together a useful toolkit to locate and contact candidates that you can access here, and we’ve put together a list for you of all the local candidates in Nottinghamshire (see below).
EVAW have also put together a useful summary review of Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green Party and Women’s Equality Party manifesto pledges on the subject of ending violence against women and girls. Read the review here.
We’ve already seen a broad coalition of women’s groups write to party leaders earlier this month asking in detail about what they will do if elected to end all forms of violence against women and girls, as it published its own ‘Priorities for Government’ and called on supporters to press their local candidates for commitments.
We urge you to contact your local candidates and find out what they intend to do to end violence against women and girls in this election. Please find below a list of all candidates for each of the seven constituencies that make up Nottinghamshire:
