The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department worked with the Home Office in the development of the Government’s Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

My Department has been closely involved in the development of the Government’s Violence Against Women and Girls (Freedom from Violence and Abuse) Strategy, which includes nine commitments to help improve safety for women and girls on the transport network. These commitments focus on prevention, early intervention and response, and align with the Government’s ambition to halve VAWG within a decade.
