Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on her Department’s Workplace working group to tackle violence against women and girls.

Answer:

The Cross Sectoral Workplace Forum, established under the Executive’s Strategic Framework to End Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG), brings together key stakeholders, including the Labour Relations Agency, Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, Diversity Mark, NIC Irish Congress of Trade Unions, and other partners, to support employers and employees in addressing violence against women and girls in the workplace.

The Forum is actively engaged and are developing proposals which will align with the strategic aims of the EVAWG Framework.
