Violence against women: On the frontline

Police leaders gather in Westminster for their annual summit, with violence against women and girls high on their agenda.

Sky News' Political Editor Beth Rigby has spent time with one force - Avon and Somerset Police - to find out what they are doing to turn the tide.

Sky News also spoke to both TikTok and Snapchat in making this report - each platform stressing their no tolerance approach to all forms of child sexual exploitation, point to a number of policies and protections in place to ensure a safe experience for children.
