Healey is set to pledge £15m to tackle misogyny as part of the Budget, according to the plans outlined ahead of the announcement.
The proposed funding is intended to support efforts addressing misogyny and its impact on women and girls. The supplied details do not specify how the money will be allocated or which organisations and initiatives would receive support.
The Conservatives have expressed doubt about whether the funding will lead to women and girls feeling safer. Their criticism places the focus on the practical impact of the proposed investment and whether it will deliver a meaningful improvement in safety.
Further details are expected when the Budget is presented, including how the £15m commitment will be used and what measures will accompany it.
