The domestic abuse commissioner has cast doubt on the Government meeting its target to halve violence against women and girls, insisting victims “cannot wait any longer” for a delayed strategy to be published.

Dame Nicole Jacobs, the commissioner for England and Wales, said she cannot see momentum within the Government to fulfil its vow to halve such violence in the next 10 years.
