Australia supports action to prevent violence toward women and girls

Foreign Minister the Hon Julie Bishop MP co-hosted the launch of UN Women's flagship program on gender statistics 'Making Every Woman and Girl Count' in New York, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the UN Foundation, and UN Women.

This Program will help governments to better respond to gender inequality and violence against women and girls by improving data collection, enhancing the technical capacity of national statistics agencies and promoting greater access to data collected.
