This bill would require the Secretary of State to publish an equalities impact assessment each financial year on how not meeting the 0.7% target for official development assistance (ODA) affects women and girls, until the target is reached again. The assessment would be laid before Parliament, so MPs can see the gender-specific consequences of the government’s aid decisions for every year the target remains unmet.
The bill has had its first and second readings in the House of Commons (March 2022 and May 2022 respectively) and is currently at the second reading stage; no further parliamentary stages are recorded in the provided information.
