Sexual Harassment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will set out a timeline for bringing forward guidance to bring the Protection from Sex-Based Harassment in Public Act 2023 into force.
- Answer
-
We are going further than ever before to deliver a cross-government transformative approach to tackle violence against women and girls, which will be underpinned by a new VAWG strategy to be published this year.
Public sexual harassment is a crime that often leaves victims feeling unsafe on their own streets. That is why tackling that criminal behaviour will form an important part of our mission to halve VAWG within a decade.
We will confirm next steps on implementation of the Protection from Sex Based Harassment in Public Act at the earliest opportunity.
