Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether the Government plans to support the target on ending violence against women and girls at the UN General Assembly in September 2015.
This question was answered on 21st July 2015
The UK Government has played a leading role in pressing for the standalone gender goal included within the UN Open Working Group outcome document and the target to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. We will continue to push, at every opportunity, for a strong and explicit commitment to this in the Sustainable Development Goals that will be agreed later this year.
