Women’s Safety: Walking, Wheeling, Cycling and Running

I thank all Members who contributed and the Minister for her remarks and ongoing work on this issue, which forms a key part of the Government’s ambition to halve violence against women and girls. We all very much look forward to working with her to improve women’s safety in this area. I finish with this quote from the Belonging Forum:

“When women feel unable to move freely in public spaces, this limits opportunities for connection, reinforces isolation and undermines a sense of belonging.”

We must work to tackle that.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House has considered women’s safety while walking, wheeling, cycling and running.
