Gender Based Violence Strategy


Greater Manchester is home to over 1.4 million women and girls and we continue to lead the way in striving for gender equality, working to ensure everyone can live a good life whilst growing up, getting on and growing old in a greener, fairer more prosperous city-region.

However, there are many issues that disproportionately affect women and girls. Gender-based violence is one of them, and it has far-reaching consequences for communities and society, as well as individuals and their families.

Here you can find out more about Greater Manchester’s approach to tackling gender-based violence. You can find out more about Greater Manchester's Gender-Based Violence Strategy, the latest on our public campaign called #IsThisOK, and find support available via the buttons below.
