Sudan: Sexual Offences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to safeguard women and children at risk of sexual violence in Sudan.
Answered by Chris Elmore
I refer the Hon Member to the statement provided to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 5 February after her visit to the Sudan-Chad border, in which she outlined our work to tackle the atrocious levels of sexual violence in Sudan, including the announcement of a multi-year £20 million programme starting this financial year to help survivors or sexual violence access psychological and medical support.
