Thank you! But I really hope most of this funding goes to support the quality specialist services that we know women prefer rather than the generic ‘big boys’ who are content to deliver one-size-fits-all services that do not meet women’s needs.
Violence against women and girls is unacceptable. I’m doing everything in my power to tackle its rise in London: that’s why we’re investing £15m more to help services that support women and girls who have been the victims of violence. Watch ↓pic.twitter.com/Hma9eOgnTx

Violence against anyone is unacceptable and many women and girls also partake in violence. Some girls punch first, cry victim later. Let’s just stop violence and punish WHOEVER commits it!

Violence against anyone is unacceptable. More stabbings yesterday, but let’s just ignore that.
-
Anything to ignore the biggest problem on our streets, knife crime. Shameful what has happened to our capital under this Mayor.
-
Clearly you don't understand the concept of a police budget, which the mayor has no control over. I'm guessing you don't understand the role of the home office and the direct correlation of a slashed police budget and an increase in violent crime...

London mayor gains powers over the Metropolitan Police The mayor has plenty of powers he can lean on if he wished to take steps in tackling knife crime with any real conviction. He tweets more about fizzy drinks than he does knife crime.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16567959 …

Yes but his powers over the police are redundant when the number of officers on the streets had been slashed due to a crippled budget thanks mostly to our glorious PM and her actions as home secretary
-
And if you did your research on how to bring down knife crime, it’s more about getting in touch with youths In deprived areas, supporting them etc not just splashing millions on police. Take a look at how Glasgow tackled it’s problem. It’s not always about throwing money at it
-
No you're right but with a stripped budget its harder to do such community outreach programs. And if it wasn't for the crippling poverty that these people face because of the Tory austerity measures the crime rate would definitely not be as high.

Whilst yes violence against girls/women is high what about boys/men and transgender? If you really are about equality that £15m should be for all. Can you please confirm....
-
And that is also unacceptable, however 2 woman die in this country every day due to DV

It's not just women and girls who are victims of violence. Many men also suffer. It's statements like yours that stop those men seeking help!!
-
Different situations though. Big difference between male to male and male to female violence. Needs different handling.
-
I'm not talking males being violent to males. Females can be violent to males as well
