issue between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Up to 18% of DFID’s latest £70 million funding
to the Rohingya crisis response in Bangladesh is devoted to the protection of rights
for refugees, including prevention and monitoring of sexual exploitation and abuse.
DFID funding includes support for family planning and clinical support to survivors
of sexual violence, and women’s centres that offer a safe space, psychosocial support
and activities for women and girls. In addition, we have tripled our funding to deal
