Developing Countries: Women's Rights
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to implement the International Women and Girls Strategy 2023–2030.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
This Government has been clear that we will work to advance gender equality and empower women and girls through our international action. The previous government launched the International Women and Girls Strategy (2023-2030) in March 2023 to guide the UK's international action. Our focus is now firmly on delivery. In November, we announced a new £27 million programme to tackle online violence against women and girls. In December, the Prime Minister announced £37 million to expand access to sexual and reproductive health and rights through supporting grassroots civil society organisations and movements.
