<p>The UK remains fully committed to supporting gender equality and women's empowerment, including every girl's right to 12 years of quality education. The integrated foreign policy review is expected to conclude later in the year, which will define the Government's ambition for the UK's role in the world and its outcomes will shape the objectives of the new Department. Both the review and the merger are evidence of the Prime Minister's commitment to a unified British foreign policy that will maximise our influence around the world, including on gender equality and women's empowerment.</p><p>The FCO reports annually on its gender equality work in the FCO Annual report and the FCO Annual Human Rights Report. DFID's Annual Report and Accounts provides an update on key results, including on gender equality, every year. The FCDO will continue to report annually on how the Department is supporting gender equality and women's empowerment.</p>
