London Mayor Sadiq Khan wants to make city safer for women
London: London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Friday published his strategy to tackle violence against women and girls in the British capital, as he promised a record $61.03 million investment up to 2020.
The mayor urged Londoners "to call out sexist and misogynistic attitudes" in his efforts to tackle crimes such as rape, harassment and female genital mutilation (FGM).
More funding will be made available for programmes including a new Stalking Threat Assessment Center and a project to rehabilitate perpetrators.An extra 13 million British pounds will go into sexual violence services. Domestic violence services will get a boost of five million pounds, some $6.93 million.
The mayor's new wide-ranging strategy follows the biggest in-depth consultation with survivors as well as Londoners, police and partners.
"My new strategy puts forward a comprehensive package of measures to intervene and prevent violence against women and girls, to tackle dangerous individuals who pose a risk in our communities, and to improve services for victims who have already suffered so much," said the mayor.
