Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what resources they dedicate to the implementation of the strategy to address violence against women and girls.

The scale of violence against women and girls in our country is intolerable and this Government is treating it as the national emergency that it is.

The Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy will set out the Government’s strategic direction and the concrete actions required to deliver on our ambition to halve VAWG within a decade. This has been underpinned by a robust analytical sprint and a Theory of Change, ensuring our approach is grounded in the best available evidence.

The Strategy recognises the need for a whole-system approach to tackling VAWG. We have worked collaboratively across government departments to develop policies that support this ambition and drive meaningful change.

Following the Chancellor’s announcement on 11 June, we are continuing to work through the details of government funding for tackling VAWG over the 2026–2029 Spending Review period.

We are working tirelessly across government to deliver the VAWG Strategy. It is vital that we get this right, and we are committed to publishing the Strategy as soon as possible.
