Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 24 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill.

I will not give way.

So, Sarah, this Bill is for you and for every person who knows at first hand the brutal, life-shattering reality of sexual violence and has had the courage to claim justice and fight for it. Thank you for helping us all be a bit braver and stronger in the fight for equality and human rights, and more determined than ever to end this abuse, once and for all.
