A Bill to require the Secretary of State to lay before Parliament an equalities impact assessment of the effects on women and girls of the decision not to spend 0.7% of UK gross national income on official development assistance in each financial year until that target is again reached.
The Bill would require the Secretary of State to lay before Parliament an equality impact assessment every financial year that explains how not spending 0.7% of UK gross national income on official development assistance affects women and girls, and to keep producing these assessments until the 0.7% target is reached again. It focuses on gender equality in aid outcomes and the potential consequences for women and girls in countries that receive UK aid.
The Bill is currently at its second reading in the House of Commons; if it passes, it would move to the committee stage for detailed examination.
