<p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) is part of the UK's
Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan (NAP), which includes our strategy
for tackling and preventing conflict-related sexual violence. The Foreign and Commonwealth
Office (FCO) will be developing an additional three-year strategy on PSVI, which remains
a top priority for the British Government.</p><p>The FCO, Department for International
Development (DFID) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will all contribute to this strategy,
not only in London but across the network of Embassies in countries where conflict-related
sexual violence issues are acute, and in doing so will closely consult civil society
organisations and other key stakeholders. This work will be overseen by the joint
FCO-DFID Minister of State for South Asia and the Commonwealth and Prime Minister's
Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon.</p><p>Our
PSVI objectives will remain to champion wider restorative justice for survivors and
hold perpetrators to account; support all survivors and children born of conflict-related
sexual violence, and tackle the stigma they face; and prevent sexual violence in conflict.
The Government will ensure the three-year strategy is survivor-centred, working closely
with the UK's PSVI Survivor Champions throughout its development.</p>
