Philip Hollobone – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Women and Equalities

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Hollobone on 2016-02-22.

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will meet Girlguiding to discuss the findings of its 2015 Girls’ Attitudes survey.

Caroline Dinenage

The Girlguiding’s Attitude Surveys provide an invaluable picture of the concerns and priorities of young women and the Government Equalities Office maintains an excellent relationship with the organisation. The 2015 survey demonstrates that many girls perceive barriers to reaching their full potential. The Government is encouraging girls to broaden their aspirations, educating young people about respectful relationships through the teen relationship abuse campaign, and equipping parents to talk confidently with their children about important issues through the Parentinfo website.
