Palestinians: Women's Rights
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps he is taking to help protect the rights of Palestinian women and girls.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
We are deeply alarmed by the disproportionate impact of the conflict on women and girls. The Foreign Secretary has raised and continues to raise our concerns around International Humanitarian Law compliance with the Israeli government. The UK is funding several trusted partners to support civilians in Gaza, including women and children. Assistance includes support to pregnant women, distribution of dignity kits for women and girls, mental health and psychosocial support, and water, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition and health services.
