Jersey's Home Affairs Minister says there has been 'good progress' actioning a raft of recommendations to tackle violence against women and girls.
18 months ago an independent taskforce revealed shocking levels of sexual harassment and listed 77 measures needed to better protect females and survivors.
Some of the comments from women in Jersey who were spoken to for the VAWG taskforce report in November 2023.
Among the actions in progress are numerous law changes - including making stalking a specific offence, and creating new offences of cyberflashing and making explicit deepfake images.

The taskforce called for a review of how the criminal justice system manages domestic abuse and rape cases and considering the 'victim's journey' - that is due out in September.
All but 14 of the recommendations are either in progress or have been addressed.
A new 30 page report details what stage has been reached with each of the proposed measures, which included support services, training for various agencies, awareness campaigns and education programmes for young people.
In December, the government ran an awareness campaign called 'It's not Okay' targeting young men in Jersey aged 16-25.

Home Affairs Minister Deputy Mary Le Hegerat says there is still considerable work ahead to achieve lasting change, but the government is commitment to seeing it through.
"I am pleased to see such good progress being made on the recommendations, which concern both departments across government and non-government representatives. The work is collaborative and ongoing.
"This report demonstrates significant progress towards meeting our commitment to implement the recommendations, as well as our work towards embedding a comprehensive approach in all our future strategies and initiatives to tackle VAWG, as recommended in recommendation 72 of the VAWG Taskforce report.
"The Taskforce identified that VAWG in Jersey was ‘a hidden problem’, and that this lack of awareness, or lack of priority, was a fundamental aspect of the problem that needed to be addressed to effectively understand and address the issue. My hope is that this annual report, and those that follow it, will serve to ensure that the issue remains at the forefront of our minds."
