A major review of policing has concluded that violence against women and girls should be considered as much of a priority as counter terrorism. Following a spike in reports of domestic abuse during lockdown, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services found a "staggering variation" in how forces dealt with the issue across England and Wales.

It is now six months since the murder of Sarah Everard, the fallout of which saw thousands of women reveal their own stories of rape and sexual assault that had gone unprosecuted.

One woman shares her experience of abuse with Nick Robinson, who then speaks to the author of the report, Zoe Billingham, and the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Louisa Rolfe.

Nick also asks the Labour MP Harriet Harman, who is chair of parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights and a former Secretary of State for Equalities and Minister for Women, for her views on how much impact this report will have.
