The Observer leads with the Government facing pressure to introduce “new laws to curb violence against women”, with an official call for people to share their experiences of crimes aimed at women seeing 20,000 submissions since Friday.

The Independent carries a report suggesting prosecutors are looking to “tackle the yawning gap” between reports of sexual violence and the number of cases reaching court.
