The Solace pledge to end violence against women and girls in London. 

On Thursday 2nd May 2024 London will elect a Mayor and 25 London Assembly members.The Mayor of London plays an important role in ensuring that survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence are supported, including funding victim services, oversight and accountability for the Metropolitan Police and strategic direction for housing in London. The London Assembly holds the Mayor of London to account. Despite recent improvements in legislation, funding and strategies we are still a long way from the goal of eradicating violence against women and girls in London.
