This includes offences such as rape and sexual offences, domestic abuse, honour-based abuse, and stalking and harassment.
"Whilst we focus on tackling violence against women and girls all year round, the week of action gave us the opportunity to put an additional focus on raising awareness for our young people across the county, supporting with education and student-based events whilst continuing to focus on tackling offenders and taking them off our streets.
