We know that all forms of violence against women and girls are exacerbated by conflict and crises. I am appalled by the persisting high levels of violence and agree we need to do more collectively to end it. The UK is proud to be a global leader in efforts to eradicate violence against women and girls, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, FGM, and child marriage. We support the objectives of the Oslo conference to secure increased political commitment to action and would like to see a greater focus on accountability to affected populations.
