Conflict Resolution: Women

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 21 July 2025UIN 67375

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he plans to publish the refreshed National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The UK remains firmly committed to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda as reflected in the UK's fifth WPS National Action Plan. The Government intends to build on this ambition through a refreshed National Action Plan, advancing implementation and aligning to emerging priorities.

While we have not yet set a publication date for the refreshed National Action Plan, we have already begun consultations with civil society and academics. This included a first round of consultation on 11 July to hear their expert views.
