Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to ensure that survivors of all ages of war crimes in Ukraine, particularly sexual violence, are represented in discussions about the justice process for prosecuting war crimes in that country.

The UK has allocated up to £2.5 million this year to support Ukraine's domestic investigations and prosecution of international crimes, including sexual violence and crimes against children.

We have deployed a member of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative Team of Experts to support the Office of the Prosecutor General, including on conducting inclusive criminal justice processes aligned with international standards, with survivor voices and needs taken into account.

We are also funding UN Women to provide conflict-related sexual violence expertise and mentoring to the Ukrainian authorities, and we are funding local NGOs to help survivors to understand their rights and access justice.
