Executive Needed To Implement Urgent Violence Strategy
Sinn Féin has called for the urgent restoration of the Executive to implement the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.
MLA Caoimhe Archibald welcomed a comprehensive update from The Executive Office on the strategy, which has had vital input from a range of women's groups, youth groups, and service providers.
The East Derry MLA said: "I am hopeful that the strategy will go out for public consultation in the near future.
"It is vital, however, that we have an Executive in place as soon as possible, with Ministers to drive forward implementation of work under the strategy.
"We also need a budget to support the Strategy to ensure that it is fully delivered.
"Women and girls cannot wait any longer, we need an Executive in place now to prioritise this work."
