Bassam Mahfouz AM: Thank you, Chair. I know that the Mayor takes this issue incredibly seriously. He has been a strong advocate and a strong, clear, male role model to speak to other men, whether it is messages on the Tube or messages that he sends out personally, the role that men have in terms of tackling male VAWG.
