DELEGATES demanded justice for rape and domestic violence survivors today, stating that systems in place had failed to address the “national emergency” of violence against women and girls.

TUC Womens Committee chairwoman and British Dietetic Association (BDA) delegate Annette Mansell-Green moved an emergency motion today at the TUC Congress on the issue.
