Information on the Ministry's initiatives and training on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), LGBTQIA+, gender, and intersectionality

Details of the request

Hi,

I would like to make the following OIA request;

1. Knowing what a woman is would seems self evident. Therefore what is the MfE's working definition of a women?
2. Does MfE have any diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) initiatives, programmes or plans? Can I see copies?
3. Has MfE done any LGBTQIA+ training or have any initiatives? Can I have copies?
4. What did MfE spent on LGBTQIA+ training or initiatives in 2024?
5. Does MfE use 'intersectionality' in any way. If yes how does MfE use intersectionality? Can I see a copy?
