This Government is committed to creating a country that works for everyone, where success is based on merit, not privilege, and where everyone has the chance to go as far as their talents and hard work will take them. That is why the Government has in place a number of strategies to address social mobility and improve outcomes for those who experience disadvantage.<\/p>

Section 1 of the Equality Act 2010 is the public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities, which has not been commenced. The Government has no plans to commence or enforce the duty because we believe that specific programmes designed to address social mobility problems in particular areas will be a more effective approach than blanket legislation of this type.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-24T11:27:10.877Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "31"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Women and Equalities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Women and Equalities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Local Government: Equality"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what plans she has to enforce Section 1 of the Equality Act 2010 for Local Authorities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4488", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Martyn Day"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Linlithgow and East Falkirk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Martyn Day"} ], "uin" : "121866"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/819866", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/819866/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We recognise that some sectors of society can experience multiple forms of discrimination and disadvantage or additional barriers to accessing support, including women and girls from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. The Government\u2019s Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy includes the commitment to promote understanding of the needs of BME women who are victims of VAWG and support commissioners to provide appropriate support.<\/p>

VAWG services are mainly commissioned at a local level as we recognise that Police Crime Commissioners, local authorities and health commissioners are best placed to identify and meet local needs, including those of BME women and girls. However, we also recognise the importance of national standards and in December 2016 we published a VAWG National Statement of Expectations (NSE). The NSE sets out a clear blueprint for local action and is supported by the Commissioning Toolkit to support good local practice. The NSE states that local areas must put the victim at the centre, and have sufficient local specialist support provision, including provision designed specifically to support BME victims, as well as that commissioners should work with local specialist partners, and map out local women\u2019s support groups, including those led by and for BME women. This is in keeping with the Public Sector Equality Duty.<\/p>

Over this spending review period, we are providing £100m of dedicated VAWG funding, inclusive of £17m through the VAWG Service Transformation Fund. The fund, which runs from April 2017 to March 2020, will support, promote and embed the best local practice and drive major change across all services so that early intervention and prevention, not crisis response, is the norm. The Service Transformation Fund is funding 41 projects, of which over £6m is being provided across 14 projects that include specific BME provision. In addition, the Home Office has provided £100k to IMKAAN to help the capability and capacity of BME service providers, and over £2m has been provided through the Tampon Tax to projects that specifically fund specific BME focussed provision.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "121941"} , {"_value" : "121942"} , {"_value" : "121943"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-19T14:34:59.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Crimes of Violence: Females"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Home Secretary, what steps her Department is taking to tackle violence against Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic women and girls.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4480", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Carolyn Harris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Swansea East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Carolyn Harris"} ], "uin" : "121939"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/819869", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/819869/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government takes all forms of harassment seriously and recognises the gendered nature of crimes which disproportionately affect women and girls. Protecting women and girls from violence, and supporting victims and survivors of sexual violence, remains a key priority.<\/p>

The Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy sets out our approach to tackling all forms of VAWG, and commits to continue to challenge deep-rooted social norms, attitudes and behaviours that discriminate against and limit women and girls across all communities. The Government has an extensive programme of work to address gender inequality.<\/p>

We welcome the work being done by the Women and Equalities Committee (WESC) who have launched an inquiry into sexual harassment of women and girls in public places.
