<p>The priorities of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Equality
Hub are closely aligned: both are working to promote the safety and empowerment of
women and girls; share a commitment to advance LGBT equality through the Global LGBT
Conference; are supporting our global leadership on disability rights; and collaborate
across many other areas of work as we advance core freedoms and liberties across the
world.</p><p>Whether it be banning the abhorrent practice of conversion therapy, ending
violence against women and girls, or improving equality of opportunity in education
here in the UK and internationally, joint working towards common goals strengthens
our ability to deliver equality for all.</p><p>More broadly, having Ministers based
across Government in the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for International
Trade, and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities will support our
ambitions to build back fairer from COVID-19 and level up across the country.</p>
