In 2012, 1.2 million women in the UK alone, suffered domestic related abuse. On average 2 women per week die at the hands of their intimate partner. Yet these are crimes that too often vanish beneath the radar or receive adequate coverage, not as gender based crimes, but as ordinary crimes. Community based responses, initiatives and projects working towards helping both victims and survivors continue to craft innovative ways to effectively combat violence against women. This half of the show looks at violence against women worldwide and what should be being done to address these issues. To discuss this issue in the studio with Jonathan Steele was have Nadia Abou El Magd -- Egyptian journalist & war correspondent and Baroness Manzila Pola Uddin, British Labour politician and community activist.
