The Update - 22/10/2018

Several domestic abuse charities are welcoming calls for a national register of serial stalkers and a commissioner, to help stand up for victims' rights.

The suggestions have been made in a report from MPs, which is calling for 'stronger action' from the government.

It's found there's a 'desperate shortage' of refuge accommodation in England.

Women's Aid says it's a 'golden opportunity' to tackle the root causes of domestic abuse.
