Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with her international counterparts on preventing violence against women and girls.

The Government has set an unprecedented mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.

The cross-government violence against women and girls (VAWG) strategy will set out the strategic direction and concrete actions to deliver on this ambition, informed by the best available evidence, including from other countries.

As part of our evidence-gathering, we have engaged extensively with a wide range of international partners and stakeholders to share perspectives and learning regarding the prevention of VAWG. We have also engaged with countries that look to the UK to understand and observe effective practices that we implement to prevent VAWG.
