Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what programmes her Department has undertaken to improve street safety for Jewish women; when those programmes took place; and what assessment she has made of their success.

The Government takes the safety of all women and girls very seriously. We are determined to ensure that women feel safe everywhere - at home, at work, at school, online, or on the streets.

In 2021/22, the Government is providing £25 million for round 3 of the Safer Streets Fund, which focuses on improving public safety for all, with an emphasis on women and girls’ safety in public spaces. Successful projects have taken forward a range of innovative and traditional crime prevention measures, including training designed to challenge attitudes towards VAWG and change behaviour, as well as improvements to CCTV and streetlighting.

Evaluation of the programme is currently ongoing.
