Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to develop the network of Women Mediators Across the Commonwealth in 2026.

As set out by the Foreign Secretary in her speech on 24 November marking twenty-five years of the UN's Women Peace and Security agenda, the UK is committed to tackling gender inequality and violence against women and girls wherever it occurs around the world, and we will continue to place female empowerment at the heart of our international work.
