In July 2007 the Minister for Women and Equality, Harriet Harman, set out the Government’s priorities for women. The priorities are:

• Supporting families
• Tackling Violence Against Women
• Increasing the representation of Black, Asian and minority ethnic women

The Ministers for Women and Equality have now published ‘Women’s Changing Lives’. This is a one year on progress report which charts the progress made on the priority areas.
