uin	21031
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2016 answer text <p>I have had no discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive on tackling isolation of women living in rural areas.</p><p>I have general discussions with Ministers in the Executive on a range of issues and this has included providing more opportunities for women to participate in political and public life. During the recent cross party talks, I also highlighted the importance of engaging women in community initiatives to combat the influence of paramilitary groupings. This is reflected in the Fresh Start Agreement.</p><p>The Government recognises the lack of female representation in politics and public life and further recognises the positive outcomes that result in tackling this inequality. As the 2015 Conservative Manifesto said: “We also want to increase the proportion of public appointments going to women in the next Parliament, as well as the number of female MPs.”</p><p>I have attended a number of events meeting women’s groups from across Northern Ireland and discussed the role of women in civic society and politics. This includes speaking at the Women’s Engagement Roadshow event in Belfast which highlighted the work Government is doing to improve the lives of women, and also provided women with a forum to voice their concerns about the issues that are important to them.</p><p>I welcome the fact that on 11 January Arlene Foster became Northern Ireland’s first woman First Minister.</p><br /> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 13/01/2016 15:28:00 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers
