When will the third national strategy to tackle domestic, sexual and gender-based violence be published? It is self-evident as to why we need it. A report from the Department of Justice found a lack of effective oversight of the implementation of the second strategy, a fragmented approach and a lack of action on decades of recommendations. In 1997, we had a task force and here we are in 2022. Specifically, when will the report be published? It was due before the end of last year. We were promised it at the end of April and now we are into May.
