Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

Our Vision: A changed society where women and girls are free from all forms of gender-based violence, abuse and harm including the attitudes, systems and structural inequalities that cause them.

In 2021, the Northern Ireland Executive directed that a Strategy to End Violence Against Women and Girls be developed, and the Executive Office is leading on this whole of government, whole of society approach. 

Our seven-year (2023-2030) Strategic Framework to End Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG), has been co-designed with over 50 stakeholders from across government, community and voluntary sectors, and wider society, including those with lived experience.

It sets the agenda for all of government and society to end violence against women and girls. It is ambitious, long term, and wide reaching. This document is intended to be a living document, which means it will be adapted along the journey according to emerging needs.
