Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 October 2013. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

The Secretary of State’s commitment to dealing with violence against women is extremely welcome. One thing we have found in this country is that it is helpful for women who want to report violence to have women to whom they can report it. Only 1% of the Afghanistan police force is female. What can the UK Government do to improve on that?
