The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how the UK is working through the G7 and G20 to promote outcomes that benefit women and girls globally.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The UK is committed to putting women and girls at the heart of everything we do. This includes ensuring the multilateral system remains a powerful tool for gender equality. The UK has used the G7 and G20 to secure strong commitments for progress on women and girls and will continue to do so, including through working with this year's G7 and G20 Presidencies and during our own G20 Presidency year in 2027.
