Baroness Hodgson of Abinger (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 November 2025

Debate

Official Development Assistance

Contribution

My Lords, we all know that women and girls are disproportionately affected by conflict. There are, I think, about 116 conflicts raging around the world. The UK is a penholder for the women, peace and security agenda at the UN Security Council. We talk about leading the world on this agenda. Can the Minister reassure the House that we will continue to support women in conflict and not cut support to them at this time?
