An independent taskforce has been launched to tackle violence against women and girls in Jersey.

A survey has begun, external to gather people's views on what the government can do to make people safer.
An online "safety heatmap", external has also been created to allow islanders to identify places that make them feel unsafe.
Anyone who has experienced gender-based violence is invited to share their story.
The survey is open until 10 December with a report due out in April 2023.
The findings will be analysed to help make recommendations on how violence against women and girls can be reduced and prevented.
