The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what criteria she will use to measure the success of the ambition to halve violence against women and girls.

Answered by Jess Phillips

We are undertaking a programme of work to bring together suitable data and metrics to measure progress against the ambition to halve VAWG in a decade. We are working closely with The Office for National Statistics and other stakeholders in producing the metrics underpinning how the government will measure success. Further details will be confirmed in due course.
