Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, (a) how and (b) with what frequency does her Department plan to report progress in delivering its target of halving violence against women and girls within 10 years.

This Government will treat tackling violence against women and girls as a national emergency and will ensure that every tool is used to target perpetrators and address the root causes of violence and misogyny.

In measuring the level of VAWG we are taking a whole of government approach, building on prevalence measures in the CSTW and working across sectors on the design of metrics to sit behind the government: safer streets mission.

More information will be set out in due course.
