Yet transwomen have been caught abusing women in single sex spaces. Why make it easier for violent males to access their victims?

Do you take down all fencing from a chicken coop because a fox got in or do you put more barriers in place to stop it happening again?

Millions are yes and millions more are not.

Those men aren't likely to attack you in a busy changing room. These men are usually your husband's, fathers, siblings etc
That are invited into homes and safe spaces ...

one in 10 people in England and Wales are a victim of VAWG [violence against women and girls]

By definition, only half the population - women and girls -can be victims of VAWG. So do they mean that 1 in 5 women and girls are victims? Or is this like that daft statistic about 1 in 4 people not attending a smear test?

Austerity helps perpetrators.

Of course the perpetrator is the one who ultimately chooses to commit VAWG, but austerity provides them with the opportunity to do it and do it more often. Many services have had funding cuts, there's an affordable housing shortage, child support system isn't as effective as it should be.

The only way to address the issue and to keep women and children safe is by funding good public services, more social housing, supportive benefits system, and improved child support system.

National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) analysis at the recent National Policing Board suggests that one in 10 people in England and Wales are a victim of VAWG [violence against women and girls], with around four million (approximately one in 15) people being perpetrators.”

… but actually given that it is mostly men, it means about one man in eight commits VAWG

That's a bit simplistic with numbers, for instance if a man is violent towards his wife, he will likely also be violent to his children. So 3 victims to 1 man, and we also know that this men go on to be violent to other partners too.

This should be on the main board. So many people think it’s ok.
