New Special Envoy for Women & Girls

Harriet Harman to champion gender equality worldwide as new UK Special Envoy for Women and Girls.

The Foreign Secretary has appointed Harriet Harman as the new UK Special Envoy for Women and Girls. She will begin her appointment on International Women’s Day (Saturday 8 March 2025). 

For International Women’s Day 2025, this Government is accelerating action to change women’s lives.  

This plan is built on the foundations of our Plan for Change for this country to have a strong economy.  

Creating opportunities for working women runs through the milestones of the government: from breaking down the barriers to opportunity which have held women back, making our streets safer, to rebuilding our public services and delivering growth that can be felt across every part of the country.  You can read more here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/womens-rights-to-be-championed-by-appointment-of-new-uk-special-envoy?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=936036fc-c975-4259-8973-5879a9b5f4ed&utm_content=immediately

On a local level, I will be advocating for the breaking down of barriers for working women in industries where there continues to be them. I will be ensuring that initiatives are moved forward to make our streets safer and reducing the violence against women and girls.

The rebuilding of our services across Lincolnshire is needed to ensure that growth in the economy is felt across the county.
