VAWDASV

VAWDASV stands for Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence.  It's a term that encompasses a range of forms of violence, including:

• Rape
• Sexual harassment
• Female Genital Mutilation
• Honour based violence
• Forced marriage
• Stalking
• Trafficking

VAWDASV is a major public health issue, a criminal justice issue, and a violation of human rights. The Welsh Government has a National Strategy on VAWDASV that runs from 2022 to 2026. The strategy is based on a "blueprint" approach that involves a range of organisations working together to achieve the strategy's objectives.
