Armed Conflict: Sexual Offences

Asked by Stephen GethinsScottish National PartyForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 14 October 2024UIN 6301

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to implement the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Strategy beyond 2025.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

Preventing conflict and empowering women and girls is critical to the delivery of the government's missions, and the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) remains a priority for the UK. We are working to prevent and respond to conflict-related sexual violence, including as vice chair of the International Alliance on PSVI and by supporting thousands of survivors around the world. Decisions on exact future strategies will be taken by ministers in due course.
