Advocates for an end to violence against women and girls (VAWG).

The Violence Against Women and Girls Working Group influences the UK Government and INGOs to put VAWG at the forefront of their policy and practie, with an approach to policy and programming that is nuanced and rights-based.

The Violence Against Women and Girls Working Group:

  • Campaigns for the UK to drive international action to eliminate VAWG.

  • Promotes best practice, information and expertise on VAWG internationally.
