The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has for tackling violence against women and girls in York Outer constituency.

Answered by Jess Phillips

This Government will treat tackling violence against women and girls as a national emergency and will use every tool to target perpetrators and address the root causes of violence.

We will dramatically improve the police and wider criminal justice response, including a relentless pursuit of dangerous perpetrators and sustained support for victims.

We will tackle the root causes of these crimes, including supporting our education system to teach children about respectful and healthy relationships and consent.
