<p>Addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a top priority for the UK
Government and DFID. We have prioritised work to end VAWG and break the silence on
all harmful traditional practices like breast ironing.</p><p> </p><p>Tackling the
root causes and drivers of sexual and gender-based violence is essential to make progress
on eliminating violence against women and girls. While we do not have programmes specifically
addressing the harmful traditional practice of breast ironing, we are working to end
all forms of violence against women and girls in whatever way it presents itself.
Details of our VAWG programmes in 29 countries can be found on development tracker.</p><p>
