Remember Vandena Patel Campaign

01 July 1991

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Vandena Patel was stabbed to death by her husband after he was allowed to visit her in the domestic violence unit of Stoke Newington police station. Following Vandena's death the Remember Vandena Patel Campaign has called into question "the effectiveness of the police's domestic violence units and whether officers in these units really understand the needs of women seeking protection from violent partners." The campaign is making the following demands i) a public inquiry into Vandena Patel's death ii) a review of national policing practice on domestic violence and domestic violence units and iii) national legislation to protect women against domestic violence. The Campaign can be contacted at PO Box 1558, London N16 5JJ, 081 472 0528.

Our work is only possible with your support.
