Petition Introduce measures to protect women at risk of domestic violence
Mandatory Real-Time Domestic Violence History Checks: public bodies including the police, courts, probation services and local authorities must check for known domestic violence or coercive control histories before allowing shared housing, child contact, or release from custody.

Automatic Clare’s Law Disclosures: Instead of placing the burden on victims to ask, we think authorities must proactively inform individuals if their partner has a violent or abusive past.
Fast-Track Legal Protections for Pregnant or Vulnerable Women: we think women who report feeling unsafe—especially during pregnancy or early motherhood—should get immediate access to protective orders, rehousing, and mental health support.
Education on Coercive Control: We think we must teach young people how to spot early signs of coercive, possessive, or manipulative behavior. We think that prevention begins with education.
A National Femicide Review Board; we think that every murder of a woman by a partner or ex-partner must be reviewed nationally.
