Gender Based Violence: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions he has had with his counterparts in Northern Ireland on tackling violence against women and girls.
Answered by Fleur Anderson
The UK Government has welcomed the Northern Ireland Executive’s Strategic Framework on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls. At the end of January, I welcomed the Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, to Northern Ireland for a two day visit including meetings with Executive Ministers, the PSNI, academics and frontline service providers. The Minister and I used this opportunity to reaffirm this Government’s support as we work towards our shared objective of tackling violence against women and girls.
