Women: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure the safety of girls and young women in public places.
Answered by Jess Phillips
Ensuring the safety of women and girls in public spaces is a top priority for this Government. We have set out an unprecedented mission to halve the level of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. That means working to tackle threats to women's safety in all areas of their lives, including in public places. To underpin this ambition, we will shortly be publishing a VAWG Strategy.
