The three 'A' status nationalhumanrights institutions in the UK – the Equality and HumanRights Commission, the Northern Ireland HumanRights Commission and the Scottish HumanRights Commission – have issued a joint statement on violence against women. The statement has been released in response to a report from the United Nations HumanRights Council's Special Rapporteur following her visit to the UK in 2014.
The joint statement can be read here in Word format.
