This project aims to understand what is important for reducing and preventing Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Plymouth. Police and partner organisations in Plymouth already work together in the city's Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership. This includes Plymouth City Council, health services and charities supporting victims or working with perpetrators.The Plymouth VAWG Commission was set up following the devastating murders in Plymouth of Maxine Davison, Sophie Martin and Kate Sheperd in Keyham in August 2021 and the murder of Bobbi-Anne McLeod in November 2021. The Commission covers VAWG in all forms. It includes representatives from the Police, partner organisations, researchers and other members of the community from Plymouth.The Commission has listened to the experiences and concerns of the people of Plymouth in relation to VAWG. This includes women and girls who have experienced violence. The Commission has also listened to the Police and partner organisations about how VAWG is being addressed in the city.Recommendations about how Plymouth will reduce and prevent VAWG will be launched by the Commission in June 2022. Devon and Cornwall Police have also produced an Action Plan to reduce and prevent VAWG across Devon and Cornwall. It is important that the Police Action Plan is made relevant to the specific needs of Plymouth as highlighted by the VAWG Commission Recommendations.This project aims to (1) understand what the Police, partner organisations and people who live in Plymouth think is most important to reduce and prevent VAWG in Plymouth, and (2) develop projects to tackle those specific areas.This work will have three phases:1. Identify the priorities of services in Plymouth by listening to a variety of organisations that work with victims and survivors of VAWG or support people who commit violent acts against women and girls. We will also listen to members of the public across Plymouth. These include women and girls, men and boys, women who are homeless, women who have experienced violence, women who are migrants and asylum seekers, women with disabilities, women with experience of sex work and men with a history of violence to women and/or girls. Once we have listened, we will work with people from those groups to decide between 4 and 6 priorities that should be taken forward to the next stage of the project.2. Map work that is and isn't already happening in Plymouth: We will again listen to organisations and public groups to understand what is happening in Plymouth to help prevent or reduce VAWG. We will take the priorities agreed in the previous phase and map where services in Plymouth are providing support. We will also identify gaps in what people in Plymouth think they need to prevent or reduce VAWG. From this we will work with organisations and the public to identify important questions that could be answered by research.3. Develop priority project teams: We will bring together teams of Police, partner organisations and members of the public together with researchers to develop projects to answer the research questions. We will support teams to write project proposals and either work on smaller projects or apply for funding to work on larger projects.We will present the work of the project through a variety of events in locations across the city and to a range of audiences to promote the impact of the work.

该项目旨在了解在普利茅斯减少和预防暴力侵害妇女和女孩行为的重要性。普利茅斯的警察和伙伴组织已经在该市的家庭虐待和性暴力伙伴关系中合作。普利茅斯对妇女和女童的暴力侵害委员会是在2021年8月普利茅斯发生的马克辛·戴维森、索菲·马丁和凯特·谢泼德在基汉姆的毁灭性谋杀案以及2021年11月波比-安妮·麦克劳德被谋杀案后成立的。该委员会涵盖所有形式的对妇女和女童的暴力行为。委员会成员包括警方、伙伴组织、研究人员和普利茅斯社区其他成员的代表，委员会听取了普利茅斯人民在对妇女和女童的暴力方面的经验和关切。这包括遭受暴力的妇女和女童。委员会还听取了警方和合作伙伴组织关于该市如何解决对妇女和女童的暴力问题的意见。委员会将于2022年6月提出关于普利茅斯如何减少和预防对妇女和女童的暴力的建议。德文郡和康沃尔郡警方还制定了一项行动计划，以减少和预防整个德文郡和康沃尔郡的对妇女和女童的暴力行为。正如暴力侵害妇女和女童问题委员会的建议所强调的那样，使《警察行动计划》与普利茅斯的具体需求相关是很重要的，该项目旨在（1）了解警察、伙伴组织和普利茅斯居民认为对减少和预防普利茅斯暴力侵害妇女和女童问题最重要的是什么，以及（2）制定解决这些具体领域的项目。通过听取与暴力侵害妇女和女童行为受害者和幸存者合作或支持对妇女和女童实施暴力行为者的各种组织的意见，确定普利茅斯服务的优先事项。我们还将听取普利茅斯各地公众的意见。这些人包括妇女和女孩、男子和男孩、无家可归的妇女、遭受暴力的妇女、移民和寻求庇护的妇女、残疾妇女、有性工作经历的妇女以及有暴力侵害妇女和/或女孩历史的男子。一旦我们听取了意见，我们将与这些团体的人一起决定4到6个优先事项，这些优先事项应被带到项目的下一阶段。普利茅斯正在和尚未发生的地图工作：我们将再次听取组织和公共团体的意见，以了解普利茅斯正在发生的事情，以帮助预防或减少对妇女和女童的暴力。我们将采取前一阶段商定的优先事项，并绘制普利茅斯服务提供支持的地图。我们还将确定普利茅斯人民认为他们需要预防或减少对妇女和女童的暴力行为的差距。从这一点上，我们将与组织和公众合作，确定可以通过研究回答的重要问题。发展优先项目小组：我们将召集警察团队，伙伴组织和公众与研究人员一起开发项目来回答研究问题。我们将支持团队撰写项目提案，并为小型项目工作或为大型项目申请资金。我们将通过在城市各地举办的各种活动向各种受众展示项目工作，以促进工作的影响。
