From my perspective, this is born out of NGO's and political elite. This is not an ask from or concern of the general population.

It depends what you consider a “serious NGO,” but the NSPCC, the Molly Rose Foundation, the Breck Foundation, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, and other NGOs actively campaigned for and supported it.
