women and children world-wide, and it will continue to be a key priority for my Department.
We have increased programmes that tackle violence against women and girls by over
60% in the past two years, and now support 103 programmes in 29 countries.</p><p>

a wide range of humanitarian and development programmes, from our flagship £35 million
investment in ending female genital mutilation, to our support to the No Lost Generation
Initiative, through which the UK is funding education and psychosocial support for
Syrian children to protect them from violence, abuse and exploitation.</p>
