<p>There is more the UK can do to prevent all forms of violence, including sexual
violence in conflict. Through initiatives such as Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict
(PSVI) and the Ending Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Humanitarian Crises
Conference (Oslo Conference) we are continually challenging ourselves and others to
step up and do more to tackle the problem.</p><p> </p><p>At the Oslo Conference the
UK announced an additional £7 million in funding for GBV in Syria. We are committed
to continuing to step up our GBV prevention and response but these efforts are not
limited to DFID funding. UK leadership includes advocating for all humanitarian actors
to recognise SGBV as a shared priority and investing in evidence that demonstrates
both the scale of the problem and effective interventions to address SGBV. We are
committed to continuing to invest in ground-breaking programmes such as DFID’s ‘What
Works to Prevent Violence’ that provide vital support to women and girls and inform
global evidence on the prevalence, severity and effective interventions to prevent
violence.</p>
