Text
Minister, your Department is, obviously, responsible for ending violence against women and girls. The racially motivated attacks mean that many women and their children have had to leave their home in Northern Ireland. What work will your Department do to ensure that women who are from ethnic minorities here feel safe and confident in making a life here?
