Violence Against Women and Girls is a moral stain on our society. It is destroying lives here in Norfolk too. In 2023/2024, there were almost 8000 incidents of domestic abuse directed at women. This cannot go on. Tackling this issue requires us to tackle the root causes, including misogyny.

Today marks five years since the Taliban took control in Afghanistan. Since then, women's rights have been under attack, being eroded one by one. Today I'm thinking about the Afghan women who continue to fight for their rights and pay tribute to them once again.

Tomorrow marks five years since the brutal Taliban regime took over Afghanistan. Since then, millions of women and girls have been forced to live under a system deliberately designed to erase them.
