Written Question
Tuesday 24th March 2015
Asked by:
Julian Lewis (Conservative - New Forest East)
Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department (a) has taken and (b) plans to take in respect of (i) funding the Plant for Peace pomegranate cultivation programme in Afghanistan and (ii) supporting Afghan nationals to take up educational opportunities in the UK; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by Justine Greening
DFID does not currently fund the Plant for Peace programme. DFID’s education funding is focused on improving opportunities within Afghanistan itself, in line with the Afghan Government’s own priorities.

Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, in which countries in receipt of her Department's funds in each of the last two financial years women are known to have been murdered (a) for apostasy and (b) in honour killings with impunity; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by Baroness Featherstone
Given that globally 1 in 3 women will experience violence in her lifetime, preventing violence against girls and women in all its forms is a priority for DFID. While DFID does not collect or hold the information in the form requested, the UK has prioritised addressing violence against women and girls around the world. We are also committed to help 10 million women access justice through the courts, police, and legal assistance by 2015.
