Ministers for Women Priorities

In July 2007 the Minister for Women and Equality, Harriet Harman MP QC set out the government's priorities for women. She delivered an oral statement and published a written ministerial statement to the House of Commons announcing these priorities.

Following this a public consultation was led by the Women's National Commission to seek the views of its members. these were fed in to the work to deliver these priorities.

The Ministers for Women and Equality have now published 'Women's Changing Lives'  a two year on progress report on the priority areas which are;

  • Supporting families
  • Tackling violence against women
  • Increasing representation of women from ethnic minority communities
