The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress she has made with Cabinet colleagues on implementing the strategy on tackling violence against women and girls.

Answered by Jess Phillips

The scale of violence against women and girls in our country is intolerable and this Government is treating it as the national emergency that it is.

We are going further than ever before to deliver a cross-Government transformative approach to halving violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade, underpinned by a new VAWG strategy to be published before summer recess. The new strategy will set out the concrete actions being taken across Government to deliver our ambition to tackle VAWG in all its forms.
