| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “On that point, a large number of these tech companies are based in America, which is going the other way from where we would hope it would be going. How confident are you that we can hold our rules and regulations while America continues to work to its non-DEI agenda?” | 50 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “If you are already doing that work with DCMS, it would be really good if we could be written to, detailing and outlining that work. That would be great.” | 29 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “Currently, there is not a path for that.” | 8 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “How will they plug into the mission?” | 7 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “If that is not working, what else can you do?” | 10 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “I understand the tracking, but it is pretty obvious that this is now reaching a crisis situation. Netflix has just released “Adolescence”, for example. It is pretty harrowing viewing, but it is actually the reality for many young boys and young people. I understand that there are gaps in the data, but what part are boy…” | 70 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “I just wanted to come back to you, Justin, on prevention. Could you expand a bit more on what role boys are playing in prevention and the violence against women and girls strategy? You talked about the Enough campaign and about RSE, and it having good reactions from school leaders, but what actual impact is it having w…” | 78 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “If this is not going to be included in the measure of halving violence against women and girls, this is still, for many women and girls, a huge area that is seeing an increase. In 2015, the revenge porn helpline had about 521 cases. Last year, it had 22,000, and, if the current trends continue, in 2028 we are going to …” | 123 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “At the moment, there is the loophole that my Committee has identified when it comes to non-consensual intimate image abuse, particularly for violence against women and girls, but also for younger boys around sextortion. These are really big issues. Why has the Department not taken this opportunity to change the legisla…” | 98 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “It seems to be a bit of a mismatch at the moment. Both Microsoft and Google gave very different responses. Now the Online Safety Act has come into force, will we have to see the Government sue online platforms before they actually take down some of this harmful material?” | 49 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “One area that you mentioned is non-consensual intimate image abuse. The threat of sharing or sharing has been made illegal and the creation is also now illegal, but possession is not. What was the Department’s thinking on that? How does that fit with the mission of violence against women and girls?” | 51 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “An area where a lot of under-16s spend their time is online. We heard from the pre-panel that the age that young people are witnessing sexual violence and rape online is now 11 to 20. That is the key age group where they are likely to witness it, but also to be victims of it. What is DSIT doing to try to improve the Go…” | 79 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “There is just one other issue around the crime survey data. Are we in danger of just focusing on women and ignoring the experience of girls, given that it does not include under-16s?” | 33 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “Would non-consensual intimate image abuse be included?” | 7 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “Will tech-enabled VAWG be included in your measures of progress?” | 10 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “I was going to talk about how you measure the progress against the ambition to halve VAWG in a decade, given the fact that you have so many gaps in data already. I do not know who is best to answer this one.” | 43 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “What looks like progress? We know that there is a huge amount of underreporting when it comes to violence against women and girls, particularly for rape, because of the lack of convictions. What would progress look like within those 10 years? Will it go up? Will it then come down? Are you expecting it to go up? If you …” | 105 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “This is a very different way of working, so it is really important that we can understand this. What happens if one of those Departments is not fulfilling its obligation and its commitments?” | 33 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “We have seen this happen in previous iterations. How confident are you that the funding other Departments are allocated for VAWG and the VAWG strategy will actually be staying within the VAWG remit?” | 33 |
| 17 Mar 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 644) “You have talked about a shift in accountability. What is that shift going to be? It cannot just be to here, and it cannot just be after the fact.” | 29 |
