PETITIONING

We also petitioned Dominic Raab (Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice) to ask him to make violent men more visible and accountable and to ensure that police, prison and probation services pro-actively identify, track, monitor and manage serial perpetrators.
Lastly we also signed Nordic Model Now‘s petition to UK Government representatives calling to change sexist police culture by banning police from watching porn and paying for sex. You can find the petition and sign it here.
