"We have to consider the need of reducing GBV into the design of climate interventions...
Very well meaning interventions can actually worsen outcomes for women and girls, if their needs aren't considered from the outset."
Minister @AnnelieseDodds speaks to our report findings.

Following the murder of Caroline, Manchester Evening News has started a petition calling for:
A minimum jail sentence for people convicted of breaking restraining orders.
Proper monitoring of people with restaining orders including via electronic tagging.
