UK announces £15m misogyny-prevention fund ahead of Budget
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Britain’s equalities minister Bridget Phillipson and Chancellor John Healey announced a £15 million misogyny-prevention fund on October 27. The plan would support programmes over three years through competitive grants, potentially including mentoring, workplace training and public campaigns. The government expects Budget confirmation on October 28 and wants businesses and philanthropists to contribute additional funding. The announcement does not establish the programmes’ results.
Why it matters
The proposed fund backs a national prevention taskforce. The £15 million public contribution is distinct from the additional private money the government hopes to attract.
