Women & Children's Safeguarding

The Homeland Party affirms that the traditional family is the cornerstone of a healthy society. Strong families create high-trust, interconnected communities and a stable nation. We support policies that secure the conditions in which families can raise children in safety and confidence, and we will implement them through clear legislation. This document sets out a detailed programme to safeguard women and children.

The state has not only failed to protect the most vulnerable, it has enabled danger. Mass immigration has imported cultures and criminal networks that prey on women and children. Officials have sought to silence those who speak out, while too often protecting perpetrators rather than victims. In particular, there has been a disgraceful failure to confront corruption and abuse within the police and other services.

Ideological capture has compounded these failures. It teaches officials to defend the indefensible, places theory above evidence, and costs lives. Women and children have paid the highest price.

The Homeland Party will reverse this. We will restore truth in public policy, place safeguarding above political fashion, and use the full force of the law to protect our people. This policy sets out firm, practical measures to prevent harm, to hold offenders and negligent politicians and officials to account, and to rebuild a culture that honours duty, family and the innocence of childhood.

1. Immigration and Violence Against Women

Mass immigration has introduced severe new risks to the safety of women and girls in our country. Data from a 2024 study by the Centre for Migration Control, based on Freedom of Information responses from 41 out of 43 police forces in England and Wales, reveals a stark and disturbing reality. ^¹,^²,^³

Foreign nationals are 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for sexual offences than British citizens. Between January and October 2024 alone, more than 9,000 foreign nationals were arrested for sexual offences (26.1% of all such arrests) despite them accounting for only around 9% of the population.
The arrest rate among foreign nationals stood at nearly 165 per 100,000, compared to 48 per 100,000 for British citizens. The highest arrest rates were recorded among Albanian nationals, followed by men from Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria, and Somalia.

These figures confirm what many have long known but few in power dare to acknowledge: mass migration has made our country less safe for women and girls. Our immigration policies must prioritise the safety, dignity, and sovereignty of our people, especially the most vulnerable.

While the Centre for Migration Control (CMC), has succeeded in extracting valuable statistics through Freedom of Information requests, their findings are drawn from an incomplete and inconsistently recorded dataset.

Most police forces in the UK do not consistently record the nationality or immigration status of offenders. There is no legal obligation or standardised framework requiring this data to be collected or reported across all forces. As a result, the CMC’s findings are conservative estimates. The true scale of the problem is almost certainly far greater.

This failure to record clear, routine data on offender origin is by design rather than by accident, it represents a deliberate and dangerous institutional blind spot in safeguarding policy. Without accurate data, there can be no accountability, no informed policy response, and no protection for women and girls from preventable harm.

Imported Cultures of Misogyny

Mass immigration from regions where women are culturally and institutionally subjugated has introduced belief systems fundamentally incompatible with the rights, dignity, and safety of women and girls as understood in our civilisation.

In many Islamic, tribal, or South Asian “honour”-based societies, women are not seen as autonomous individuals, but as extensions of male relatives to be controlled, veiled, married off, or punished in line with brutal customs. These practices are not fringe. In many cases, they are reinforced by religious doctrine, enforced by family and community pressure, and transmitted through parallel structures within their diasporas.

Critically, these belief systems often draw a sharp distinction between women within the group and those outside it. Females who fall outside their religion or ethnicity are frequently viewed as lesser beings; little more than animals or playthings to be used, abused, or defiled without moral consequence.

These imported attitudes have translated into:

“Honour” based violence, including beatings, forced virginity tests, and “honour” killings
Forced marriage and child marriage
Female genital mutilation (FGM)
Grooming gangs targeting White girls and vulnerable women
Social tolerance for sexual harassment

These practices violate not only our laws, but the moral order of our society, which holds the dignity and freedom of women and girls as sacred. Our people have spent generations building a civilisation in which women and girls are protected from abuse, not forced to submit to it.

Remigration

The Homeland Party recognises that many of the threats facing women and children stem from the presence of foreign populations whose cultural attitudes toward them (and toward anyone outside their own group) are fundamentally incompatible with our own.

Legal frameworks alone cannot correct imported norms that excuse violence, justify control, or deny female dignity; they simply don’t care what our law says.

As part of our broader strategy to protect our people, the Homeland Party will implement a targeted and lawful programme of remigration. This will prioritise the return of foreign nationals, dual nationals, and naturalised individuals who commit serious offences.

Remigration is essential for dismantling the cultural enclaves that give rise to grooming gangs, forced marriages, FGM, harassment, and the systematic degradation of women and girls. It is a vital step toward rebuilding high-trust communities where women and children are safeguarded not just by law, but by shared moral and cultural foundations.

Mandatory and Retrospective Recording of Offender Background

No effective safeguarding policy can exist without accurate, comprehensive data. At present, most police forces in the UK do not consistently record the nationality, immigration status, or ethnic background of those reported, arrested or convicted, leaving the public blind to patterns of crime that may correlate.

The Homeland Party will mandate that all police forces record and publish the statistics for nationality, immigration status, and ethnic background of reports, arrests, charges and convictions, regardless of offence type. This data will be standardised, compulsory, and made publicly accessible in anonymised form for public scrutiny, research, and policy accountability.

Our people are entitled to the truth. Only by removing the veil of selective silence can we expose the real social impact of immigration, restore institutional trust, and ensure that the safety of our women and children is no longer subordinated to political correctness and multicultural dogma.

The Homeland Party will initiate a taskforce for collecting retrospective data and statistics where it was incomplete or missing, with measures up to and including tracking perpetrators to correctly record their data.

Eliminating Hostile Foreign Practices

Beyond criminal prosecution, the Homeland Party will deploy legal, institutional, and economic measures to suppress foreign cultural practices that undermine the safety, dignity, and cohesion of our people. These measures will directly target the networks and environments that enable abuse, coercion, and cultural subversion within our borders.

We will defund and deregister any NGO, charity, educational establishment, or religious institution found to support, enable, or tolerate forced marriage, genital mutilation, “honour-based” abuse, or related coercive practices.
Mandatory safeguarding audits will be introduced in identified high-risk communities, including school-based reporting and targeted home visits where signs of coercion exist; such as forced veiling of girls, withdrawal from wider society, or language isolation.
Visas for religious purposes will be denied where the applicant promotes practices that conflict with safeguarding standards, undermine the public good, or threaten national security.
Foreign funding for religious institutions, educational settings, or programmes will be strictly prohibited. All such organisations will be subject to unannounced inspections, transparency obligations, and full legal accountability.
A public sanctions register will be published listing institutions and individuals sanctioned for cultural abuse or safeguarding violations, to ensure public awareness and institutional transparency.
Religious dress codes for minors will be prohibited in schools. No child will be subjected to imposed attire as a mark of foreign cultural or religious submission.
Prosecution under coercion and safeguarding law will be pursued in all identified cases. Where offenders are of foreign origin, deportation will be part of the sentence.

While we maintain the principles of freedom of religion and worship, this policy is designed to neutralise the institutional roots of abuse, ensuring that no parallel system of cultural governance, hostile to our laws and customs, is allowed to persist on our land.

2. Sex Offenders and Domestic Abusers Within the Police Force

Safeguarding is impossible when the police harbour abusers within their ranks. A mounting crisis in UK policing has revealed systemic failures to investigate or remove officers accused of serious domestic and sexual offences, many of whom remain in post and on the public payroll.

As of December 2023, over 1,100 police officers across England and Wales were under investigation for domestic abuse or sexual offences. Of these, 180 continued working as usual. In the Metropolitan Police alone, 657 officers faced such allegations.^¹

The case of David Carrick (a former Met. officer who admitted to more than 40 offences, including 20 rapes of 12 women over two decades) exposed the culture of silence and internal protectionism. Despite repeated warnings, he remained in uniform.

A 2022–2023 Refuge investigation^² found:

1,124 cases of misconduct involving violence against women and girls across the 26 police forces in England and Wales
- 429 for domestic abuse
- 203 for sexual assault or misconduct
- 63 for rape
Only 24% of those reported were suspended
In nearly half of forces, 75%+ of accused officers remained in post or on restricted duties
200+ officers were already under investigation for previous offences
60% of reports came from within the force itself
Some officers under investigation were promoted to safeguarding roles
Most forces still lack a formal policy to handle such allegations
The Baird Inquiry into Greater Manchester Police’s treatment of women in custody was triggered by cases including an alleged rape; it found missing custody CCTV, unlawful arrests, and demeaning, sometimes unlawful strip searches, yet no officer has been held accountable.^³⁴
Wayne Couzens was a serving Met. Police officer who murdered Sarah Everard in 2021. In the months before, he was arrested twice for flashing women in Kent. He was identified via CCTV but because he was a police officer, the cases were not pursued further. Going back to 2018, there were allegations of sexual misconduct that were not followed up either.

This is not a collection of isolated failures, it is institutional betrayal. The Homeland Party will treat this not as a scandal to contain, but as a crisis demanding root-and-branch reform.

The existing inspectorates and complaints bodies are toothless.^⁵ They publish reports, offer advice, and carry out reviews; but they cannot enforce change to protect the public or refer abusers for prosecution. This failure has allowed dangerous officers to remain in uniform, shielded by institutional silence.

Zero Tolerance for Abuse Within the Police Force

The Homeland Party will restore public trust in policing by holding law enforcement to the highest standards of conduct. Abuse of position, especially involving women and children, will not be treated as workplace misconduct. It will be treated as what it is: a crime.

To that end, we will implement the following measures:

Mandatory external criminal investigations into all complaints involving violence against women and children, with whistleblower protections and criminal penalties for cover-ups. Internal self-investigation will end.
Dismissal and automatic prosecution where allegations are substantiated. Internal disciplinary panels will have no authority to delay or override justice.
A UK-wide Integrity Register barring all dismissed or convicted officers from any future role in the public and protective services.
Legally binding safeguarding policies for all police forces, with particular focus on punishing those who protect abusers within their own ranks. Officers who break their own rules to shield predators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Aggravated sentencing will be introduced for those who abuse their public office; no parole, no suspended sentences.
Stricter recruitment and vetting, including background checks, psychological screening, and mandatory safeguarding training. Any applicant with credible past allegations or signs of predatory behaviour will be disqualified.
Fingerprint and DNA registration for all applicants and serving officers, ending the loophole that allows abusers in uniform to evade forensic accountability. It is absurd that police officers are not currently required to have their fingerprints registered on appointment.

3. Subversive Ideology in PSHE Lessons

PSHE lessons (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education) are school sessions that are meant to teach pupils about health, relationships, safety, and life skills to help them navigate personal and social challenges. Yet PSHE education has become a tool for ideological indoctrination that undermines our nation, confuses children, and bypasses parental authority.

Critical Race Theory (CRT): Children are being taught to see themselves negatively through a racial lens, with PSHE materials pushing ideas like “White privilege” and “systemic oppression.”^¹ Lesson plans encourage pupils to debate whether racism is increasing in the West, based on biased media articles, while portraying “Whiteness” as inherently evil. Meanwhile, a government-commissioned report confirmed there is no systemic racism in the UK^². CRT is nothing but an ideologically driven anti-White attack, cloaked in the liberal doublespeak of tolerance.

Promotion of Foreign Practices: Under the guise of “diversity,” PSHE increasingly promotes Islamic prayer rituals, modesty rules, and honour-based customs. Children have been asked to observe Ramadan or write letters of conversion to Islam^³, activities that would never be permitted for Christianity. These lessons elevate regressive foreign norms while sidelining our own heritage.

Queer Theory and Gender Ideology: Schemes like No Outsiders seek to “queer the classroom,”^⁴ encouraging young children to question their gender and sexuality. These concepts are introduced without parental consent, often using deceptive or euphemistic language, and is destabilising children’s identity and mental wellbeing.^⁵

Hyper-Individualism and Social Isolation: PSHE content encourages children to reject tradition, and communal values in favour of “diversity” and radical self-definition, putting emphasis on “diverse families” and listless queer labels.^⁶ The result is often confusion, atomisation, and alienation from the roots that give life meaning.

Lack of Transparency: Schools routinely outsource PSHE lessons to ideologically driven third-party providers who are neither qualified nor regulated as teachers or education professionals. These providers push political content into classrooms under the guise of “wellbeing” or “inclusion.” Parents are routinely denied access to the materials used on their own children, with schools and providers citing “copyright” as an excuse. This legal loophole is used to hide ideological instruction from families and erodes trust in schools.^⁷ ^⁸ ^⁹

PSHE has strayed far from its original aim of preparing children for healthy, responsible adulthood. It now serves as a pipeline for divisive ideology and that must end.

National Life Skills Curriculum

The Homeland Party will abolish PSHE and introduce a compulsory, standardised focus on real-world competence and civic readiness. Core topics will include:

Cooking, nutrition, and shopping
Basic household maintenance
Budgeting, paying bills, and taxes
Savings, investment, and economic basics
Understanding law, rights, and responsibilities

Legal Right to Curriculum Transparency

The Homeland Party will enshrine in law a parent’s absolute right to access all educational content used in their child’s schooling. This will include:

Curriculum plans and lesson outlines
Materials from external speakers and third-party providers
Digital platforms, apps, and subscriptions
All classroom resources: books, worksheets, videos, and activities

Children’s schools will be legally barred from hiding content behind claims of copyright or provider confidentiality. Parental oversight is not optional, it is a fundamental right. No institution will be allowed to indoctrinate children under a veil of secrecy.

End Schooling Ideological Overreach

The Homeland Party will draw a clear line between education and indoctrination. Schools will be strictly prohibited from engaging in:

Promotion of gender ideology in any form
Instruction in political doctrines such as critical race theory or queer theory
Influencing children’s beliefs on race or sex in a way that is not scientifically grounded.

Teachers will be reminded that their duty is to educate, not re-parent. Schools will be legally confined to academic instruction and basic pastoral care, within a clearly defined moral and cultural framework that respects family primacy.

4. Safeguarding Failures for Children in Care

Grooming gangs deliberately target children in care, knowing their isolation and trauma make them easier to manipulate and disappear. Official inquiries, including the Independent Inquiry ¹ into Child Sexual Abuse, have exposed decades of institutional neglect, cover-ups, and systemic inaction.

Children go missing at alarming rates, often to be trafficked for sex, drugs, or forced labour, while agencies scramble with disorganised and delayed responses. The instability of the care system, with constant changes in placement, carers, and social workers, means many of these children have no trusted adult to confide in. Add to this the widespread neglect of trauma and mental health, and the result is a national disgrace: a state-run system that fails to protect its most vulnerable and, in many cases, hands them directly to abusers.

Introduce Stability Contracts

Children in care require stable, enduring relationships with trusted adults, not a revolving door of strangers. The Homeland Party will legislate stability across the care system by introducing contractual minimums for frontline roles:

Social workers assigned to looked-after children will serve a minimum 2-year term, limiting disruption and ensuring accountability.
Foster carers will be subject to minimum service commitments and limits on placement turnover. No child should be moved more than once in a 24-month period without serious cause.
Incentives such as housing support or financial bonuses will be used to retain experienced carers and reduce attrition.

Mental Health Intervention

Untreated trauma leads to lifelong dysfunction. The Homeland Party will embed mental health into the core of the care system, not bolt it on as an afterthought:

All children entering care will receive trauma screening within 30 days.
Every local authority will fund a dedicated mental health practitioner or team within children’s services.
Fast-track CAMHS access (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services) for looked-after children. No queues, no excuses.
Every local authority will ensure there is smooth transition from childhood provision into adult services where required.
Specialist trauma recovery units will be established for complex cases requiring long-term, community-based intervention.
Training about trauma will be mandatory for all carers and residential staff.

The Homeland Party will create a register of individuals known to target, exploit or have collaborated, or covered up, the neglect or abuse of children in care; including those previously investigated but not prosecuted. This data will be stored for safeguarding checks and analytical purposes. We would expect the register to kept by the same authorities who hold existing disclosure registers.

Independent Whistleblowing Body

Children in care must be able to speak and be heard, but due to inaction and corruption this does not always happen. The Homeland Party will create an independent reporting body for abuse and mistreatment in the care system, fully separate from government, local authorities or service providers.

As part of this, a 24/7 safeguarding hotline will be operated by trained, external professionals. All reports will be investigated within 7 days, with the agency having powers to initiate emergency inspections.

Looked-after children can go missing for days without authorities lifting a finger. We want immediate and serious intervention.

Police and care providers must adopt a mandatory national protocol requiring search deployment, safeguarding review, and family notification within 24 hours of a child going missing.
Repeated disappearances must trigger intervention and placement reviews.

5. No Parental Rights for Convicted Rapists

The Homeland Party rejects the idea that a man who rapes a woman should ever be allowed to claim parental rights over her child.

Under current law, a man gains automatic parental responsibility if he was married to the mother or named on the birth certificate. Even after a rape conviction, he may apply to have those rights reinstated, and many have. This allows:

Continued coercion and harassment through family courts
Continued traumatisation of survivors forced to face their attacker again
Influence over the child’s upbringing, education, religion and healthcare
Financial and legal strain on mothers forced to fight back
Ongoing risk to the child, ignored by lenient judges

The UK Government’s 2025 Victims and Courts Bill for England and Wales (which is yet to finish it’s journey through parliament) includes provisions that would restrict parental responsibility for serious child sex offenders, including those convicted of rape resulting in conception.¹ However, this is grossly inadequate. While some of the planned restrictions would become automatic, survivors of rape would still have to pay to return to family court and plead for variations or enforcement without any guarantee of success. And there are no plans for similar changes in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

This is a systemic betrayal that the Homeland Party will end through the following policies:

1. Absolute Bar on Parental Rights for Rapists
We will make it unlawful for any man convicted of rape or serious sexual assault against the child’s mother to retain or regain parental responsibility.

No legal route will exist, regardless of marital status or birth certificate.
The only exception will be contact requested solely by the mother, via a secure and formal process.

This is not a legal issue, it is a moral one.

2. Automatic Termination at Sentencing
We will legislate to require courts to:

Automatically and permanently revoke parental responsibility at the moment of conviction
Apply termination universally, regardless of past relationship or registration status

A mother will no longer need to apply, pay, or argue for her and her child to be safe.

3. Legal Firewall Against All Contact
All forms of contact, direct or indirect, will be prohibited by default.

Courts will be legally required to terminate contact arrangements upon a rape or serious sexual assault conviction

Local authority staff who knowingly breach this prohibition will face disciplinary action and, where applicable, prosecution for misconduct.
Family courts will have no discretion to grant contact to convicted rapists and serious sex offenders, except in mother-led applications where the child’s welfare permits.

This final firewall ensures no rapist or serious sex offender can use legal processes to maintain power over women or children.

6. Prostitution: Systems of Exploitation, Not Liberation

An estimated 100,000 people are involved in prostitution in the UK, nearly 90% of them are women.¹ Despite repeated claims of “liberation” from NGO campaigners and academic advocates, the reality is stark: prostituted women are overwhelmingly poor, addicted, traumatised, or homeless. Most are targeted precisely because they are vulnerable, and they are exploited in plain sight.

Violence is endemic. A 2009 report from Toynbee Hall indicates that 68% of street-based sex workers in the UK had been physically assaulted. A detailed 2013 study surveying 193 street sex workers in London found 68% of women had experienced physical assault.² Similarly, a survey of workers in Edinburgh, Leeds, and Glasgow found 81% reported client violence, and half had experienced this in the preceding 6 months.³A 2024 Guardian feature reports findings from the Women’s Support Project stating that 90% of surveyed sex workers in Scotland had faced violence ranging up to attempted murder, describing violence as a daily reality.⁴

Nearly half fear for their lives and do not trust the police to protect them. Beyond the Streets reports that 76% show symptoms of PTSD.⁵,⁶ For many, prostitution is not a choice, it is the final stage in a cycle of abuse, poverty, and addiction, no different from county lines drug exploitation.

Legalisation does not reduce harm. In Germany, post-legalisation data showed no real reduction in violence.⁷ In Leeds, the Holbeck “managed zone” collapsed under public backlash, with innocent women and girls harassed in their own neighbourhoods. Normalising street prostitution only spreads the degradation.⁸,⁹,¹⁰

Trafficking networks feed this system. In London alone, 80% of women in the sex trade are foreign nationals.¹¹ Many are trafficked, coerced, or misled, often by other foreign nationals. In 2009, foreign nationals made up 41% of all sex workers nationwide. Today, the figures will be far worse. This is a criminal industry, driven by foreign predators operating in organised networks.

This is not “liberation”. Street prostitution and sex trafficking are not neutral activities we should learn to tolerate. They are systemic abuses, sustained by open borders and a political class too cowardly to confront them. The state’s duty must be to dismantle this trade not sanitise it.

Criminalise Demand

Anyone who pays for sex, on the street, in a brothel, or through any organised ring, whether knowingly or not, will face:

Criminal prosecution and heavy fines
Public exposure
Blacklisting from positions of trust
Aggravated charges if the offender knew, or could reasonably have known, that the victim was under the influence of drugs or alcohol (e.g. visible track marks or intoxication)
Mandatory re-education programme, including testimony from survivors and education on coercion, addiction, and the realities of exploitation. We want to change the way the offender thinks, so they consider the victim and impact on society.

End Drug-Based Exploitation

Anyone caught supplying drugs to prostitutes or exchanging them for sex will face:

Aggravated criminal charges
A mandatory custodial sentence
No parole, no early release

Drug use will no longer be used as a weapon of control.

Break the Hold of Criminal Control

Those who extract money through coercion, offer “protection” for payment, or traffic people for sex will be treated as serious sex offenders. New legislation will define and prosecute sex trafficking as a distinct and grave offence. Mandatory prison terms will apply. There will be no early release. Trade in human flesh will not be tolerated.

Penalties will be escalated for:

Involvement of minors
Organised criminal networks
Importing foreign prostitutes

Remove Foreign Exploiters

A disproportionate share of traffickers and brothel operators are foreign nationals linked to transnational gangs. The Homeland Party will:

Deport all convicted foreign traffickers
Strip citizenship and deport naturalised offenders
Restore full border control to block entry and end visa abuse

If foreign nationals exploit the vulnerable, they will be removed. The protection of our people is non-negotiable.

Restore Accountability and Defend the Dignity of Women

For too long, prostituted women have been treated as unworthy of protection. That will end.

Police, social workers, and public agencies will be held accountable for failing to protect women from abuse and trafficking. No more blind eyes. No more passivity.

Prostitutes will not be criminalised; they will be safeguarded through:

Mandatory referrals after repeat contact with police
State-led trauma and addiction assessments
Civil protection orders to shield them from exploiters

We will also take action to reverse decades of institutional drift:

The term “sex work” will be expunged in government policy and replaced with the legally accurate term “prostitution”
Any local authority ‘managed zone’ for prostitution will be outlawed, with legislation enforcing uniform abolition and penalties for non-compliance

Organised criminal prostitution is not empowerment. It is a failure of society and the state. We will give women a way out, and we will never again let government policy sanitise their exploitation.

Build a National Exit and Reintegration Programme

No woman escapes the sex trade without support. The Homeland Party will establish a programme focused on recovery, dignity, and long-term stability. Women will have access to:

Secure housing protected from pimps and criminal relapse
Trauma-informed therapy for PTSD, abuse, and addiction
Priority retraining and education routes
Family and childcare support for mothers rebuilding safe homes
Peer mentorship led by survivors

This is not moral grandstanding. It is a matter of national defence. This trade thrives on addiction, coercion, and foreign exploitation. We will end it, at the root.

7. Pornography: A Cultural Cancer and Public Health Crisis

Successive governments (Labour and Tory alike, supported by the Lib Dems) have either ignored the harms of pornography or actively changed the law to enable it. The pornographic industry produces nothing of social value and offers no benefit to the nation.

The minor regulatory tweaks introduced under Starmer’s government barely acknowledge the scale of the crisis, let alone address it. His government finds the time to regulate speech online with authoritarian zeal, yet refuses to remove industrial-scale sexual degradation from public access. School books and educational materials are costly, yet pornography is free and everywhere. This is not an inevitability. It is a political choice, enabled by the state.

The Homeland Party does not see pornography as harmless entertainment. We see it as a cultural cancer and a public health crisis. It degrades and exploits both women and men. It corrupts the minds of our children.

Pornography has obliterated the line between intimacy and performance, turning sex into a violent, commodified transaction for mass consumption. Far from being confined to adult spaces, it saturates our culture; influencing social media, advertising, relationships, and even education under the guise of “sex positivity”.

The ease with which children access explicit content is a national disgrace. Smartphones, school-issued devices, and gaming platforms all act as pipelines to hardcore material. Filters are ineffective. Age checks are laughable. Oversight is non-existent. Children are being exposed to violent, degrading, and abnormal sexual imagery during their most vulnerable stages of development. This is institutional child abuse by neglect.

Pornography is addictive by design. It rewires the brain, isolates users from reality, and fuels depression; especially among young men. It leads to sexual dysfunction, emotional detachment, and a spiralling need for increasingly extreme material. The industry profits while our people suffer.

The social cost is catastrophic: loneliness, low self-worth, and the collapse of human intimacy. Pornography leaves behind masses of overstimulated, emotionally numbed, and socially broken individuals, ill-equipped to form relationships or raise families.

Behind the screen is real abuse. The “content” consumed so casually is often the result of trafficking, coercion, or non-consensual filming. Pornhub and other major platforms have hosted child abuse and revenge porn on an industrial scale. This is not just a degrading industry, it is one riddled with criminality.

Ban Online Pornography

The Homeland Party will legislate to ban all commercial pornographic websites at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) level. This includes all major broadband and mobile data providers.

The ban will be enforced through ISP-level domain blocking and filtering, with criminal penalties for any platform or ISP that profits from or distributes pornography to UK users.

We are not naive. It is not the role of the state to specify what industries must produce, but it is the state’s duty to set firm boundaries on what is permissible when any industry causes or contributes to the systemic harm of our people.

ISPs will be expected to coordinate and develop effective technical solutions to block access to all pornographic content. This includes video or streaming platforms, subscription services, and any emerging format used to host or monetise explicit material.

This universal approach eliminates the need for convoluted, ineffective age checks. Everyone will be equally protected.

Social media platforms that permit pornography, where based in a foreign jurisdiction, will be required to offer a UK-specific version with explicit content entirely filtered out. Platforms based in the UK must prohibit pornographic content altogether.

For completeness, we will also ban the sale of pornographic magazines and DVDs; they serve no cultural or social function and have no place in a healthy society.

Ban on Pornography Via User Generated Content Subscription Platform

OnlyFans is a UK-based content subscription platform founded in 2016 by Tim Stokely. Originally envisioned as a service for creators to monetise exclusive content (such as fitness coaching, cooking tutorials, or music), it rapidly became dominated by adult material after it was bought in 2018 by Leonid Radvinsky. By 2020, the platform had become globally synonymous with the sale of pornographic and sexually explicit content, despite attempts to broaden its image.¹ Industry estimates suggest that between 70–90% of content on the site is now NSFW or pornographic.²,³

While creators span multiple countries and backgrounds, the majority are young women. An estimated 84% of OnlyFans creators are female.⁴ In the United States, this translates to around 1.4 million women who have worked as OnlyFans creators.⁵

In the UK, the platform hosts an estimated 280,000 creators. If 84% are women, that implies roughly 235,000 female creators. Based on global age distributions, approximately 100,000 of these are likely to be aged 18–24.⁶ The UK could be following a similar trend to the US, with a growing proportion of young women entering the adult content industry through subscription platforms.

Platforms like OnlyFans do not empower women, they commodify vulnerability. They target students, single mothers, and the economically desperate, grooming them into digital prostitution under the lie of “empowerment”, while harvesting vast profits.

They also allow predatory content creators to exploit young men. One such case is that of “Bonnie Blue”, an adult content creator who has described basing herself near universities and student hotspots to sleep with “barely legal” 18- and 19-year-old male students, so she can film and monetise it for subscribers.⁷,⁸ Her tactics are openly promoted in the mainstream media under the guise of “outrage”, but in reality, it is part of a marketing machine feeding a multimillion-pound industry.

This is not a legitimate business. It creates no product, offers no service, and provides no innovation of benefit to the nation. It is a form of digitised exploitation that our legal framework never anticipated; one which liberal politicians refuse to confront for fear of appearing “judgemental” or “out of touch”.

The Homeland Party will take real action:

All pornographic content will be banned on user-generated subscription platforms.
Platforms such as OnlyFans will be shut down and their assets seized.
Profits gained from exploitation (including that of executives, shareholders, and top creators) will be recovered and redirected to fund mental health services, rehabilitation programmes, and safeguarding education.
UK law will be updated to prohibit any platform from allowing or monetising sexually explicit content of this nature.

This is not censorship. This is justice. We will not allow technology to be used to degrade women, exploit the poor, and train young men to see sex as a trend or transaction. No civilised nation can afford to tolerate technology that subverts natural human relations.

8. Surrogacy: The Marketisation of Motherhood

The Homeland Party rejects the commodification of motherhood and the marketisation of human life. Surrogacy reduces women to vessels and children to products; a practice wholly incompatible with the dignity of womanhood and the natural order of parenthood.

Though commercial surrogacy is technically banned under the Surrogacy Arrangements Act 1985, “reasonable expenses” remain lawful. With no legal definition, this loophole is openly exploited. Brokers now advertise luxury housing, private healthcare, and “wellness packages” for surrogates in women’s magazines; proof that financial inducement is not hidden, but proudly marketed. In reality, this is commercial surrogacy in all but name. No one is ever prosecuted.

Parental Orders under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 allow legal parenthood to be transferred with no oversight. The child’s welfare becomes secondary to adult want. Surrogates can refuse to hand over the baby; intended parents can walk away. Newborns are left in legal limbo.

British couples now increasingly turn to surrogacy abroad, exploiting women in poor countries where the practice is openly commercialised. This “surrogacy tourism” bypasses UK law entirely and turns foreign poverty into a transaction.

The psychological toll is immense. Children face identity confusion. Surrogates suffer emotional trauma. Intended parents often struggle to bond, especially when pregnancies take place overseas with no connection or continuity.

Ethically, surrogacy degrades womanhood. It treats the womb as a service and the child as a deliverable. In the UK, livestock enjoy greater legal protection from forced separation than babies born via surrogacy.

Pregnancy carries real risks: pre-eclampsia, haemorrhage, emergency C-sections, miscarriage, and postnatal depression. No woman should be placed in harm’s way for the sake of another’s convenience.

Surrogacy is not love. It is not care. It is commercialised exploitation, and it must end.

Unified Ban on Surrogacy (UK and Abroad)

The Homeland Party will introduce a single, comprehensive law that bans all forms of surrogacy, whether domestic or international, commercial or so-called “altruistic”, and criminalises every aspect of its promotion, arrangement, and execution.

This law will:

Prohibit all surrogacy arrangements, regardless of compensation or intent
Criminalise any individual or organisation acting as a broker, intermediary, or facilitator
Treat any payment, benefit, or exchange of services for the purpose of surrogacy as a criminal offence
Eliminate legal mechanisms to transfer parental rights through surrogacy contracts
Extend criminal liability to UK nationals and residents who arrange or participate in surrogacy overseas (“surrogacy tourism”), with prosecution upon return
Trigger immigration and safeguarding interventions when foreign surrogates or children are brought into the UK
Criminalise the public promotion, advertising, or endorsement of surrogacy. Impose censorship orders on UK-based websites, influencers, and platforms promoting surrogacy
Deregister any charity or NGO involved in surrogacy facilitation
Sanction UK-based financial institutions processing surrogacy-related payments

This law will end the surrogacy industry in its entirety. It will protect vulnerable women from exploitation, children from commodification, and the law from being bypassed through foreign contracts. The message is simple: human life is not for sale, and motherhood is not a service.

9. Egg Donation: The Commodification of Fertility

The Homeland Party opposes the exploitation of young women through the egg donation industry. Marketed as altruism, it is, in truth, a predatory and profit-driven trade that commodifies female fertility and severs the natural bond between mother and child.

Targeted online and on education campuses, women aged 18–30 (especially students and those in financial hardship) are offered £750 to undergo invasive medical procedures. This is not generosity. It is financial coercion disguised as choice and kindness.

The risks are not minor. Egg retrieval involves powerful hormone injections, internal bleeding, ovarian hyperstimulation, infection, and potential long-term damage to fertility; most of which remains under-researched and deliberately downplayed. The clinics collect profit. The women absorb the cost.

Eggs are used for lab-based reproduction, embryo commodification, and surrogacy arrangements. Human fertility becomes a product, not a gift of life. Women become parts suppliers. Children become the output of private laboratories and commercial contracts. This is the logic of a society that treats its daughters as raw material.

The Homeland Party will not stand by while the female body is mined, monetised, and marketed to the highest bidder.

End the Trade in Female Fertility

The Homeland Party will introduce legislation toban all targeted advertising of egg donation, including online, on social media, or through educational institutions. This ban will apply to all campaigns aimed at women aged 18–30; the demographic most aggressively targeted and most economically vulnerable.

Under this law:

Clinics, agencies, and brokers will be prohibited from advertising egg donation using terms like “paid”, “compensated”, or “rewarded”
Any marketing that frames donation as a lifestyle choice or altruistic act while offering payment will be criminalised
Offenders will face financial penalties, deregistration, and potential prosecution
Medical bodies that continue to recruit through student channels or social media will lose their operating licences

We will also prohibit all commercial and private egg donation for third-party reproduction. This includes a total ban on harvesting eggs for use by unrelated individuals or couples. Clinics performing or facilitating such procedures will lose their licences.

British citizens or residents who attempt to acquire donor eggs abroad will face prosecution under new extraterritorial bioethics laws.

Women’s fertility is not a commodity. We will not serve as a global hub for the trade in human flesh.

If there are would be parents who cannot conceive a child, adoption is the correct process to follow and is a wonderful thing to do for a child who does not have parents.

10. Grooming Gangs: Industrial-Scale Abuse and State Betrayal

The grooming gang scandal is not just a story of horrific crimes, it is a story of national betrayal. In towns across the UK; Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oxford, Glasgow and beyond, vulnerable White girls were systematically targeted by men of foreign origin; mainly Pakistani. These men raped, drugged, trafficked, and terrorised them, often with the knowledge or complicity of the very institutions meant to protect them.

This was not random violence. It was a form of inter-ethnic domination; a parallel culture treating White schoolgirls as sexual objects. Victims were selected precisely because they were White, poor, and unprotected. This was industrialised abuse, carried out in cars, takeaway shops, flats, and parks.

The perpetrators operated with impunity, not because the evidence was lacking, but because the truth was politically inconvenient. Councils, social services, and police forces looked away. Some officials suppressed reports. Others blamed the children. For years, brave whistleblowers and survivors were ignored or punished by the police. The media stayed silent. Even Andrew Norfolk, who later received credit for breaking the Rotherham story in 2011, admitted he deliberately held back to avoid fuelling what he called “far-right fantasies.”¹

But it was not journalists or government that first raised the alarm. It was nationalists (vilified, accused of racism, and suppressed by leading journalists) who warned the public as early as the 1990s. Those warnings were dismissed. The abuse was allowed to continue. The cover-up became policy.

To this day, no full national inquiry has been held. Court transcripts remain sealed. Key data is suppressed or manipulated. The government and liberal press will continue to claim that group-based child sexual exploitation is not linked to ethnicity, despite overwhelming facts and evidence to the contrary.

This is not oversight. It is Soviet-style denialism in defence of multicultural ideology. It is the betrayal of a generation of girls, sacrificed to preserve a political fantasy.

The Homeland Party Response: Truth, Justice, and Remigration

1. A Full Statutory National Inquiry

The Home Secretary announced on 16 June 2025 the creation of a statutory Independent Commission on Grooming Gangs, tasked with coordinating targeted local investigations. We consider that remit inadequate. The Government’s own language uses the word “local” five times in the terms of reference, while failing even once to mention central government. (Ref: Government Response to the Casey Audit, 2025, Recommendation 2)

This is a political shield not a path to justice. The victims, and the wider public, deserve clarity not just about what happened in council offices, but what decisions were made inside Whitehall, Westminster, Holyrood and national policing bodies.

We therefore call for the remit of the Commission, under theInquiries Act 2005, to be expanded and guaranteed in law so that it:

Can require documents and compel individuals, including officials and politicians, from any government department or policing organisation, to attend and give evidence;
Is empowered to make findings and recommendations on the role of central institutions (such as the Home Office, Cabinet Office, National Police Chiefs’ Council) both in historic cases and ongoing policy;
Can refer evidence to prosecuting authorities for serious offences including misconduct in public office, perverting the course of justice, assisting an offender, conspiracy, bribery, or fraud.

The inquiry must also uncover:

How intelligence was shared or suppressed across government and police agencies
Any suppression of the media or collusion with them to bury the truth
Whether misleading guidance or public statements were issued
Detailed accounts of why whistleblowers were ignored, silenced, or punished

Although multiple reports and reviews have criticised public bodies, not one official has ever been held to account. Expanding the remit is the only way to deliver justice; not just for the survivors, but for the betrayed public and future generations.

2. Prosecute the Complicit

Retrospective criminal prosecutions will be pursued not only for perpetrators, but for any public official (police, social workers, council staff) who wilfully ignored, obstructed, or covered up child abuse.

Existing offenders will be persecuted formisconduct in public office, perverting the course of justice, assisting an offender, conspiracy, bribery, or fraud.
Going forward, a new offence of wilful neglect of child safeguarding will be introduced, with long custodial sentences.

Institutional complicity is not a bureaucratic failure it is a crime.

3. Protected Whistleblowing

We will establish an independent whistleblowing platform for victims, professionals, and members of the public to report grooming, trafficking, or cover-ups.

Reports will be investigated by an external safeguarding body, not the councils or forces under suspicion
Legal protections will shield whistleblowers from retaliation

4. Transparency in the Courts

All transcripts, sentencing remarks, and case summaries from grooming gang trials will be published by default.

Redactions will be allowed only to protect victim identities
Public access to justice will be restored, no more secrecy, no more judicial blocks

5. Long Sentences and Deportation

All offenders convicted of grooming-gang crimes will receive sentence of at least 25 years and up-to whole life. These acts are sustained sadism against children; no suspended terms, no parole, no early release back into society.

Deportation applies to every non-native offender.

Foreign nationals will be deported as soon as possible after sentencing to their country of origin to serve their sentence where new treaties allow, with a lifetime ban on re-entry.
Offenders of foreign origin who have been given British citizenship will have that citizenship revoked under national-interest powers and then be treated as foreign nationals.
Family members who choose to accompany the offender may do so under the normal remigration programme; they will not be used as an “anchor” to keep the criminal in the country.

The mass abuse of our girls was not just a tragedy. It was a crime of state-enabled ethnic predation. A conspiracy of silence allowed it to flourish. That silence ends with us.

The Homeland Party will not forgive. We will not forget. We will bring justice to every victim, consequences to every enabler, and final closure to every case still buried in files and sealed courtrooms.^²

1 Andrew Norfolk’s admission to holding back the exposure of grooming gangs to curb alleged “far-right fantasies”

2One of the most egregious examples of young British girls being victims of horrendous sexual violence committed by predominantly Pakistani immigrants, as well as ignored by the authorities due to the latter’s fear of being labelled racist for investigating the former, was the Rotherham grooming gang scandal. For a broad outline of the case, please see: ‘Investigations into the Rotherham Child Sexual Exploitation Scandal,’ Wikipedia;

J. Elgot, ‘Grooming Gangs Inquiry: How will it help victims and affect the law?’ The Guardian (16^th June 2025)

11. County Lines and the Criminal Exploitation

County lines drug trafficking is now one of the most brutal forms of modern slavery. Urban gangs, many foreign-led, push drugs into rural and coastal towns using mobile phone “deal lines” and children groomed as couriers. They seize the homes of vulnerable adults, pensioners, and the disabled through “cuckooing”, turning ordinary flats into drug hubs under threat of violence.

Children as young as ten are being physically branded as gang property by tattooing, burning or cutting. They are trapped in debt bondage, forced to carry knives, sexually abused, and are threatened with horrific consequences if they speak out. The vast majority come from broken homes, care placements, poor or chaotic backgrounds; they are targeted precisely because they are unprotected.

This is not mere criminality, it is a national safeguarding collapse. The National Crime Agency estimates thousands of children are trapped in county lines, yet many are still treated as offenders while the ringleaders thrive. The Homeland Party will shatter this system, punish the exploiters, rescue the children, and hold failed institutions to account.

To this end we will ensure:

1. Long Sentences for Child Exploitation
All adults who groom, coerce, or exploit a child for crime (drug running, rape, sexual abuse, gang recruitment) will receive sentences of at least 25 years and up-to whole life. Anyone providing housing, transport, weapons, or finance to such operations will face the same penalty. Crimes against childhood warrant nothing less.

2. Deportation of Foreign Gang Members
Foreign nationals and offenders of foreign origin who have been granted British citizenship will be stripped of status and deported as part of the sentence. Britain will not harbour those who traffic our children.

3. National County Lines Intelligence Hub
A real-time database will fuse data from police, schools, social care, the NHS, and all other relevant agencies. Patterns of missing children, deal-line phones, and repeat addresses will be flagged instantly, ending the silo culture that lets gangs slip through the cracks.

4. Cuckooing as Criminal Exploitation
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 will be amended to create a specific offence of “cuckooing”. Taking over a vulnerable person’s home for drug supply will carry penalties equal to trafficking. Victims will, be safeguarded, and not prosecuted for offences committed under duress.

5. Protective Technology Orders
Courts may authorise temporary GPS tags or mobile monitoring for children already identified as high risk, especially those in care or repeatedly missing. Used only with judicial oversight, these tools will locate victims in real time and sever gang control.

6. End the Criminalisation of Exploited Children
Children caught in county lines will be treated as victims, not criminals. New statutory protections will ensure that no child is charged without a full safeguarding review. Confirmed victims will be diverted into trauma-informed care, rather than prosecuted. Criminal records arising from exploitation will be expunged at 18, on a case by case basis, giving rescued child a chance to rebuild.

12. Culture and Faith-Based Genital Mutilation

The Homeland Party unequivocally condemns every form of child genital mutilation. These acts are not cultural rites; they are child abuse. Children cannot consent, and no religion, tradition, or parental belief justifies irreversibly cutting a child’s body. Safeguarding must be one rule for all. A child’s body belongs to the child, not to parents, clerics, or custom.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) remains entrenched in Britain because of immigration from regions where the practice is widespread, including Somalia, Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Indonesia. It is deeply embedded across the Islamic world and is also practised in other third-world cultures. FGM has been illegal in the UK since 1985, and “vacation cutting” was outlawed in 2003, yet prosecutions are almost non-existent. The obstacle is not a lack of evidence but cowardice to tackle an immigrant problem; an unwillingness to confront the ethnic and religious realities behind the abuse. Thousands of girls are flagged each year. The NHS now runs more than 20 specialist FGM clinics, a silent admission that this barbarity is no longer foreign but embedded.

Male genital mutilation (MGM), euphemistically called circumcision, is equally non-medical and performed on healthy boys, predominantly within Muslim and Jewish communities. While FGM is condemned, MGM is accepted as parental choice; a grotesque double standard. Cutting healthy genital tissue from any child is wrong.¹

Each time a Western country proposes a universal ban on child genital cutting, globalist voices go into meltdown. Lawmakers have repeatedly sought to prohibit non-medical circumcision of boys, yet proposals in Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Finland were withdrawn or defeated after intense lobbying by religious groups, including significant foreign pressure in Iceland.

In Germany, when the Cologne Regional Court ruled in 2012 that non-therapeutic circumcision of young boys constituted criminal bodily harm, the federal government rapidly pushed through primary legislation to make it legal.

They know that removing liberal “tolerance” for such barbarism would expose the failure of multicultural doctrine and make mass immigration from the Third World untenable. Demographic data show that genital mutilation is now overwhelmingly an imported foreign practice; ending it would therefore become another powerful driver for remigration.

UK Boys (Aged 0 – 15 yrs) Circumcised for Religious or Cultural Reasons

Religion of Child	% Circumcised¹	Notes
Muslim	≈ 93 %	Khitān regarded as obligatory/strongly‑sunna by almost all Muslim jurists; families usually arrange it in infancy or early childhood.
Jewish	≈ 99 %	Brit Milah customarily carried out on the 8th post‑natal day (unless postponed for health reasons).
Hindu / Sikh / Buddhist	8 – 12 %	Not scriptural; practised mainly by some East‑African Asian and South‑East Asian diasporas.
Christian (all denominations)	1 – 2 %	Small pockets among West‑African and Caribbean churches; otherwise rare.
No religion / Other	< 1 %	A handful of secular/cultural circumcisions.

ONS Broad Ethnicity	% Circumcised for Religious Reasons¹	Typical Driver
Pakistani / Bangladeshi	≈ 94 %	Virtually all boys are Muslim.
Black African	≈ 52 %	Mix of Muslim families and sub‑Saharan cultural rites.
Indian	≈ 44 %	Combines the Muslim minority and some Hindu/Sikh cultural practice.
White British	≈ 1 %	Isolated religious conversions; the great majority of the 14 % total rate is medical, hence excluded here.
Black Caribbean	≈ 5 %	Mostly evangelical‑Christian cultural practice.

How these figures were derived

Best available proxy figures (medical‑only cases excluded)
Total prevalence by religion and ethnicity comes from Table 1 of the Natsal‑3 probability study of 6,293 men (field‑work 2010‑12).
Medical circumcisions (for phimosis, balanitis, etc.) amount to ~ 3.8 % of English boys by age 15 (BMJ audit of paediatric operating lists). This baseline was subtracted from each Natsal category to isolate non‑therapeutic, religious/cultural procedures. (PubMed)

Because neither the NHS nor private clinics code the “reason” for every procedure, these are necessarily estimates, but Natsal remains the gold‑standard population survey and the BMJ audit is the accepted benchmark for medical‑only rates.

Genital Integrity of Children Act

The Homeland Party will introduce a single, comprehensive law to eradicate non-medical genital cutting of minors.

Key provisions

Total ban – All non-therapeutic genital cutting of any child, male or female, is prohibited. No religious, cultural, or parental justification shall be a defence.
Extraterritorial reach – Taking a child abroad for genital mutilation will constitute a serious offence. Abuse committed overseas will be prosecuted in British courts; passports may be seized to prevent flight.
Medical accountability – Any healthcare professional who performs, facilitates, or fails to report non-medical genital cutting will face criminal prosecution, permanent removal from the healthcare staff registers, and civil liability.
Mandatory reporting – Teachers, social workers, and healthcare staff must report suspected cases; failure to do so becomes an offence.
Child protection powers – Courts may issue protection orders, including temporary removal of the child and travel bans on guardians, where risk is identified.
Penalties – Perpetrators face custodial sentences; aiding and abetting draws comparable sentences. Assets used to finance or facilitate the crime are subject to seizure.

This Act would close every loophole, erase every double standard, and lay down one unbreakable rule: no child will be cut to appease a foreign rite. We will not bend. Any parent who objects can proceed to the nearest Remigration Centre and take their entire family with them.

13. Women’s Prison Reform

The UK’s women’s prisons are a showcase of institutional failure and recycled trauma. Female inmates self-harm at catastrophic rates: incidents rose 38% in the year to September 2023, compared with 11% in men’s prisons. More than three-quarters of women behind bars report mental-health issues, and nearly half have attempted suicide. Prison is even used as a “place of safety” for women in acute crisis; a brutal confession that community mental-health services are broken.

Most women are victims before they are offenders. Roughly 70% have endured domestic violence, and more than 50% were abused as children. Yet trauma-informed care is scarce, and staff still work in estates built for men; where ill-fitting clothes and rationed sanitary pads shred what remains of dignity.

The damage radiates outward. Each year 17,000 children lose day-to-day contact with their mothers. With only a few women’s prisons in the UK, female prisoners average 63 miles from home, many well over 100. That distance and the travel costs involved severs family bonds especially for the 54% who are primary carers.

Short custodial bursts make matters worse. Most women are jailed for non-violent offences and serve brief terms that impacts on housing, employment, and the custody of their children. 72% of women remanded to prison never receive a custodial sentence at trial: prison has become a dumping ground for the vulnerable, not a last resort for the dangerous.

The Homeland Party will end this cycle of neglect and build a justice system that protects women, children, and the public.

Trauma-Informed Care

The Homeland Party will mandate trauma-informed care across all women’s prisons, recognising the high prevalence of abuse and mental illness among female inmates. Facilities must provide properly fitting clothing, sanitary products, and sex-appropriate services. All staff will receive specialist training to meet the distinct psychological and physical needs of women in custody.

Ending Prisons for Mental Health Containment

Women in acute mental distress will no longer be imprisoned due to failures in community care. We will expand NHS mental health provision and create secure, therapeutic alternatives to custody. Vulnerable women will be supported through coordinated NHS and social care partnerships, rather than abandoned to the penal system.

Reduce Family Separation through Local Custody

Sentencing and prison allocation must prioritise proximity to home, especially for mothers. We will invest in more localised women’s facilities, upgrade visiting centres, and protect parent-child contact in sentencing decisions where no danger is present.

End the Overuse of Short Sentences and Remand

Short sentences for non-violent women destroys housing, family ties, and prospects of rehabilitation. We will legislate for a presumption against remand and custodial sentences for non-violent offences, requiring courts to pursue alternatives such as addiction treatment or community supervision.

Data and Oversight for Long-Term Change

Authorities will be legally required to track key data, including the number of primary carers in custody. The Prison Inspectorates will be empowered to enforce compliance, monitor outcomes, and drive long-term reform.

14. Self-Defence

Women and girls in the UK face rising levels of violence, but are denied the legal means to protect themselves. In the year ending March 2023, police recorded 103,135 incidents of rape and serious sexual offences against women and girls. But sexual violence is only one part of a wider epidemic. Women are assaulted in parks, stalked on public transport, and attacked in their own homes. Yet the state offers little more than platitudes and failed police responses. In many cases, officers close investigations without ever contacting the victim.

The law actively punishes women and girls who attempt to defend themselves. Pepper spray, a basic tool for self-defence, is banned under Section 5 of the Firearms Act 1968, placing it in the same category as submachine guns. Possession alone carries up to 10 years in prison. Meanwhile, most attackers walk free.

This legal imbalance empowers abusers. It guarantees that violent men will meet no resistance, and that women who act in their own defence may be treated as criminals. Britain is one of the only European countries to ban such protection. Germany, France, Poland, Italy, and others allow regulated access to self-defence sprays. British women and girls are left defenceless by law.

This is not civilised. It is state-imposed vulnerability. A government that fails to protect women and girls has no right to disarm them.

The Homeland Party affirms the natural right of self-defence. No woman or girl should be forced to rely on a failing system while barred from protecting herself. The law must serve victims, not their attackers.

Legalisation of Pepper Spray for Women

The Homeland Party will legalise the possession and use of pepper spray for females aged 16 and over for self-defence. To ensure accountability, pepper spray will not be commercially available but issued directly by police stations:

Each canister will be barcode-registered and tied to the woman’s identity.
Access will require mandatory safety training and a signed declaration of lawful use.
Strict penalties will apply for misuse, while legal protection will apply for defensive use only.

This reform aligns the UK with most European countries and recognises a woman’s right to protect herself from violent attack.

National Guidance on Proportional Self-Defence

We will issue updated guidance to police and courts clarifying that women have the right to use whatever force they believe to be necessary, including improvised weapons, when under threat of physical or sexual assault. No woman acting to prevent her own rape or violent attack should face legal jeopardy for doing so.

Duty on Police to Record and Respond to Self-Defence Incidents

All self-defence incidents involving women will be recorded separately from general assault cases. Dedicated review units will provide safeguarding support and legal oversight to prevent wrongful prosecution where defensive force was justified.

National Self-defence Training

We will fund voluntary self-defence programmes for girls and women in schools and communities. Training will cover situational awareness, de-escalation, deterrence, and physical defence, ensuring women and girls are not only protected by law, but prepared in practice.

Automatic Deportation for Foreign National Offenders and Naturalised Citizens

Foreign nationals convicted of violent or sexual offences against women and girls will face automatic deportation as part of the sentence. Naturalised citizens will be stripped of British citizenship and permanently removed from the country under new legal provisions.

This policy will send a clear and uncompromising message: there is zero tolerance for imported violence against our women and girls, and those who offend will never again be sheltered by our state.
