Asked by Anneliese DoddsLabour (Co-op)Foreign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 2 July 2026UIN 12795

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of a dedicated Women, Peace and Security mediation track, ensuring the inclusion of Sudanese women in civilian engagement mechanisms across the Quad, Quintet, and other international mediation processes.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The UK is committed to ensuring women's full, equal, meaningful and safe participation in any future peace process in Sudan, and the Foreign Secretary has consistently worked to elevate the voices of Sudanese women in international fora. The UK offers its full support to efforts to establish an inclusive, civilian-led political dialogue and transition process for Sudan, including through the work of the Quintet, and we will continue to demand that women are at the centre of that process.
