What a Waste. The Case for an Integrated Violence Against Women Strategy / The Women's National Commission, Mar 2005

"The report agues that current initiatives to tackle violence against women (VAW) tend to take place in ‘silos’: there is a clear separation between domestic violence, sexual violence, forced marriage, rape, trafficking, killings in the name of honour, stalking and other forms of VAW. It states that in order to tackle these forms of VAW effectively, action must be based on the recognition that all the different forms of VAW are connected/integrated (as formally recognised already by Scotland and some local authorities) and the response to it should be similarly integrated."
