The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to publish the strategy to halve violence against women and girls within a decade.

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 working tirelessly across Government to deliver the VAWG Strategy. It is vital that we get this right, and we are committed to publishing the Strategy as soon as possible.
