The Bishop of Gloucester asked a question on the implementation of a framework to tackle root causes of violence and discrimination against women and girls on 9th March 2021, during a discussion on global efforts to increase women’s equality:
The Lord Bishop of Gloucester [V]: I understand that the Government are investing over £67 million in the What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls programme. What plans do they have to follow the lead set by Australia in developing a national primary prevention framework to tackle the root causes of bias and discrimination against women and girls?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, FCDO): My Lords, we have a range of programmes and projects that cover issues of discrimination against women and girls from an early age, including discrimination against their entry into education and their progress into employment. Of course, in conflict-related zones specifically, our initiatives such as the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative reflect the Government’s priorities in this agenda.
