Child and Women Abuse Studies Unit : From the Outset: Why Violence Should be a Priority for the Commission for Equality and Human Rights (CEHR)

London Metropolitan University's Child and Women's Abuse Studies Unit has published this report, which covers the current knowledge base around violence including: gender based violence, sexuality, race and religion.

The 'From the Outset...' research argues for violence to be a crosscutting issue for CEHR. The research highlights how women and girls are more susceptible to sexual violence and concludes with recommendations for CEHR's work and priorities.

The paper was updated and launched at an event hosted by the Equality and Diversity Forum, and has prompted considerable reflection and debate, including on the usefulness of the concept of 'hate crime'.
