Ms Sophie Nelson:

Yes. However, we see it with the violence against women and girls strategy, which is currently sitting within the Executive office and awaiting funding to be attached to it. The bulk of the work is done. Without resourcing and funding, voluntary community sector organisations will not have the capacity to roll out some of this work. It is the same with the LGBTQI+ strategy; it needs to be resourced. For the TEO strategy on violence against women and girls, because it is centralised in that sense and it is cross-departmental, that will help when it comes to assigning money to it, because that can be part of a budget. An individual Minister deciding how much money goes to that will always be problematic.
