Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to help ensure that that the commitments in the International Strategic Framework on Women are being delivered.

The International Strategic Framework on Women and Girls 2026 sets out how the UK will work with partners to deliver lasting change, reflecting the scale of challenges facing women and girls globally. Evidence will underpin all our work, and we are committed to rigorous reporting and governance to ensure effective delivery.

I refer the Rt. Hon Member in particular to the 'deliverables' section of the framework, which sets out some of the key steps we will take to protect and advance the rights of women and girls, and to Paragraph 51, which sets out how we will monitor and evaluate progress against the goals of the framework.
