To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Scottish Police Authority's recent quarterly policing performance report showing that sexual crimes have continued to increase, with recorded rape at the highest level since comparable records began, and with domestic abuse also continuing to rise, what its response is to concerns that its Equally Safe strategy is failing women and girls, including what urgent, measurable action it will take to reverse these trends.
Oral questions — topical, portfolio, First Minister's and the like — aren't published with their answer text. The reply was spoken in the chamber; cross-reference the Official Report for the wording.
