Public Places: Hendon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to make public spaces safer for women and girls in Hendon constituency.
Answered by Jess Phillips
This Government has set out an unprecedented ambition to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade, and we are determined to use every lever available to us to deliver on that aim. That means working across Government departments to tackle threats to women’s safety in all areas of their lives, including in public spaces.
The Safer Streets Mission is the vehicle to drive delivery across Government to halve VAWG, halve knife crime, and restore confidence in the policing and justice system to record levels. We will spearhead a cross-government approach to VAWG and girls through the Safer Streets Mission Board.
