	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>We are very supportive of the Oslo Conference’s ambition to end sexual and gender based violence in humanitarian crises. We know that all forms of violence against women and girls are exacerbated by conflict and crises. I am appalled by the persisting high levels of violence and agree we need to do more collectively to end it. The UK is proud to be a global leader in efforts to eradicate violence against women and girls, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, FGM, and child marriage. We support the objectives of the Oslo conference to secure increased political commitment to action and would like to see a greater focus on accountability to affected populations. UK senior representation at the Oslo Conference will be confirmed in due course.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 07/03/2019 15:27:23 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

For example, over 50% of the delivery partners of the Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund (YHPF) are national NGOs.
