Answer
It is our collective shame that Northern Ireland has the highest rate of violence against women and girls in the UK.
This Government is committed to halving violence against women and girls in a decade, a commitment I feel very strongly about. I will work with the Executive and groups across Northern Ireland so that women, girls and children are safe.
