To mark 16 days of activism on violence against women and girls (VAWG), we invited VAWG activists to speak with our Ministers about the violence women are facing all over the world and why no country or context is immune.
This government is committed to halving violence against women and girls in the next decade. We will continue to work with the organisations and voices who are working hard to tackle gender-based violence overseas and at home.

• Anneliese Dodds, Minister for Development and Women & Equalities
