Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

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.

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.
