The UK remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting women and girls around the world and countering the rollback of their hard-won rights and freedoms. We will continue to be a champion for women and girls across the world by showing up and making our voice heard, including though our influence at the UN and other multilateral organisations and through the work of Baroness Harman as UK Special Envoy for Women and Girls. We will stand in solidarity with women's rights organisations who are on the frontline of tackling rollback, including by driving innovation to generate sustainable funding flows for women's rights. We remain committed to promoting comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including safe abortion, in the face of global rollback.
