The Government’s key manifesto pledge to halve violence against women and girls within the decade is a very noble aim, and I am determined to help them succeed in that. We will soon have their strategy on how they plan to do this. I just want to reiterate that no plan serious about prevention can ignore online pornography and where we have got to. Of course we need better policing of rape and domestic violence, but also of the material that legitimises it. Banning depictions of choking and strangulation porn is a very good start, but it is by no means the end.
