A 15 October 2026 press release announced that the Ministry of Justice had launched a campaign called Respond, which offered advice on how family, friends and others should react when someone discloses abuse. The release said the campaign, which urged people to "Listen. Believe. Support.", formed part of the cross-government ENOUGH campaign and included videos and graphics, plus a new Support Space on the ENOUGH website providing guidance and routes to specialist support.

The release cited Minister for Victims Alex Davies-Jones, who said the campaign was intended to give friends, families and the wider public confidence in how to listen to, believe and support victims. It said many victims tell a family member or friend first, and that young people aged 18-24 often share a disclosure with peers. Elymae Cedeno of Bumble, which hosted the launch, also backed the campaign in the release.

The release stated that more than half a billion pounds was being invested in support services, including £550 million over the next three years for specialist help to victims and witnesses, and that every Crown Court in England and Wales would receive at least one courtroom set up for rape and serious sexual offence cases over the next two years. It said the Government aimed to halve violence against women and girls within a decade. These were plans reported on 15 October 2026. The release said the ENOUGH Challenge strand had launched in December 2025.
