Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing stories of domestic abuse and violence against women and girls through the eyes of our officers, as the force launches its latest campaign – ‘We See’.
The launch of the ‘We See’ campaign follows on from the ‘See Me’ campaign, which launched in August last year. ‘We See’ aims to encourage victims of violence against women and girls to come forward and report.
Officers from across the force have shared what they see in the hope that potential victims will recognise patterns of abuse and come forward to seek support or report to the police.
South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Joanna Maal said:
“By using the voices of our officers who deal with crimes relating to violence against women and girls, we hope it will help victims understand that what they are going through is wrong.
“Our officers work tirelessly to tackle violence against women and girls, and it is a long-standing priority for South Wales Police.
“We recognise that concern regarding personal safety and violence is as great as it has ever been. I hope the officers featured in this campaign supports the investigations, partnership working and initiatives we are involved in to tackle violence and abuse.
“We see the scale and effect of violence against women and girls every single day and we want to highlight the issues, share information with our communities, encourage women and girls to report or get support and encourage bystanders to call out and challenge abusive behaviours.”

If you're not sure if you're ready to report what’s happened to you, if you don’t want to talk to us, or if you want extra support, there are lots of people who can help.
You are in control, and it's up to you who you talk to and what help you get.
You can speak to these people and organisations privately and confidentially, and unless they think someone is in serious danger, they won't share anything with us.
