Violence against Women and Girls

Baroness Whitaker Excerpts

Thursday 7th March 2013 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Garden of Frognal]

The noble Baroness takes this Question beyond the original remit, but I assure her that DfID is working consistently in this area to try to ensure the safeguards that she has identified in countries beyond our own.

[Baroness Whitaker]

My Lords, does the Government’s action plan address the considerable violence and bullying meted out to girls of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller origin?

[Baroness Garden of Frognal]

The guidance will cover all pupils and all schools, so all minority groups should be within it.
