Tackling Violence against Women and Girls: a guide to good practice communication

The Government Equalities Office has developed a communications guidance and toolkit: Tackling Violence against Women and Girls: a guide to good practice communication, in order to support and inform government communication in the area of violence against women and girls. Reducing violence against women and girls requires a long-term shift in public attitudes, and GEO recognises that effective and strategic communications will play a key role in achieving this.

This is the first guidance of its kind on this topic and it is designed to support communication and campaign activity around the cross-Government VAWG strategy – Together We Can End Violence against Women and Girls.

Government communicators working in the area of violence against women and girls are the primary audience for this guidance, but we hope that others will also use it.

A note about navigation

• The guidance is an interactive PDF. The navigation works as follows:
• The blue navigation buttons take you to the next or previous page
• The pink navigation button will take you to the last page you looked at
• The house symbol on the right hand side next to the page numbers takes you back to the home page

The home page is a quick way to navigate the guidance so that you can go directly to the practical advice, information and tools. There are blue boxes on the left of the page which identify areas and issues where you might want some advice; the boxes on the right will take you to the topic and section that you need.
