⚠️ Police Scotland is dealing with an average of 200 cases of violence against women and girls every day, according to the force's Chief Constable.
A new report shows rape offences have continued to rise, with almost 300 more cases recorded over the last year. It comes as 10 offenders have been sentenced in the past two months to prison terms totalling more than 100 years.
Police say tackling violence against women and girls requires both stronger prevention and bringing offenders to justice.

First Bus have cameras and will have this on file. Our community demands these crimes are dealt with. What sort of sick person randomly attacks pensioners? The victim is badly shaken and scared. This is Scotland in 2026 @STVNews@Glasgow_Live@BBCScotlandNews@ScotGovFM
@ScotNational Can you report that Nicola Sturgeon is the only person who has ignored the community group contacting her for help.
Any help spreading awareness about this would be appreciated.

Today a man told me that I’m not truly traumatised by being raped because I’m career-focused and into fashion. I hear it constantly: “you don’t look like a victim”. So just to annoy them even more, here’s a picture of me taken yesterday outside parliament looking extra confident.

Any help spreading awareness about this would be appreciated.
