Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department has taken to support efforts to tackle the spread of false information on emergency contraception in Honduras.

The UK is aware of the ban on emergency contraception in Honduras and the lack of accurate information about it available to Hondurans. We are not currently running any programmes in this area. DFID do not have a bilateral aid programme in Honduras. In the past, to encourage responsible media reporting by Honduran media, the UK funded a project with Oxfam with a specific focus on violence against women in FY 2015/16.
