"Worldwide, more than 2,000 women will be killed by a partner or a member of their own family," the Queen Consort told more than 300 guests at the Violence Against Women and Girls reception.The Queen Consort spoke of the importance of remembering women who had been murdered - but also said she had met women who showed how "victims have become victors".
Olena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, warned of the sexual violence against women that had taken place in her country since the Russian invasion.Sue Harper, head of domestic abuse prevention at Hestia, warned that her charity's refuges were "already seeing the impact of the cost of living crisis and we are concerned that abuse will intensify and increase further".
There were 2.4 million adults in England and Wales who experienced domestic abuse last year, according to crime survey figures published last week by the Office for National Statistics. Among women, domestic abuse is highest among 25 to 39-year-olds, but for men it peaks among the over-75s.
