Gaza: Gender Based Violence

(asked on 1st June 2026) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the sexual and reproductive violence against Gazan women and girls; and what steps they are taking to address this.


This question was answered on 15th June 2026

The finding that more than 38,000 women and girls have been killed is appalling and underlines the devastating impacts of this conflict, in addition to the equally appalling evidence of sexual violence. Through our humanitarian and early recovery programmes, we have provided funding to the International Civil Society Action Network to fund Women's Alliance for Security Leadership members to deliver conflict related sexual violence response and prevention work in their communities.
