Yes, it happened! Thanks to all your incredible ongoing support the bill has passed the House of Commons votes. After a "lively" debate, the bill, which would make progress on ratifying the Istanbul Convention, passed with 138 votes to 1! The bill will now move to the House of Lords, where IC Change will continue to monitor its progress. This hard-fought win is down to you. This law is about women’s lives and today we took a step closer to ending the violence that shatters so many lives. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT! It's taken a lot of hard work and dedication from volunteers across the UK to get to this stage. To help us reach the next stage and to celebrate all we've done so far, please consider voting for us for the 2017 Care2 UK Impact Award. The winners receive £1000 which will help us keep campaigning for women to live free from violence - and free from the fear of violence.
