This question was answered on 16th July 2015
The Secretary of State for International Development and I, champion this issue every day as part of the department’s broader plan to improve the prospects of women and girls overseas. Gender is mainstreamed across all DFID programmes and we are proud of the impact the department has achieved in tackling violence against women and girls, not least through the 2014 Girl Summit which focused on eradicating Female Genital Mutilation and Early and Forced Child Marriage.
