An online hub has been launched to help people concerned about sexual violence, abuse, or harassment. 

Funded by Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Donna Jones, the platform has gone live today to mark the International Day to End Violence Against Women.

For Ms Jones, it symbolises the region's commitment to tackling violence against women and girls in Hampshire.

She said: “Violence against women and girls is not just an issue for policing, it is for the whole of society to tackle.

“Only by working together and challenging behaviour, asking questions and educating can we really change attitudes and bring about long-lasting change.

“As commissioner, I know how hard it is for victims of sexual violence to know where to turn.

"The hub provides several pathways to charities that can help funded by my office in partnership with local authorities."

She added: “I also recognise not just women are affected by violence which is why the hub is open to anyone experiencing abuse, or worried about their own behaviour escalating.”

The site was funded after PCC Jones' office secured Safer Streets Home Office Grant funding.

It is open to anyone who is worried about or has experienced sexual violence and it also provides advice to those worried about their own behaviour.

It also hosts resources for schools and colleges for staff to access training guides to help young people challenge the culture, beliefs and attitudes that say violence is acceptable.
