	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by these reports. I visited Burma in November 2016 in my capacity as the Prime Minister's Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. In that capacity, I pressed the Burmese Minister of Defence on the importance of the army handling allegations of sexual violence against women in a thorough and transparent manner. I also lobbied other senior Ministers for a full and independent investigation into all reports of human rights violations. During my visit, I also heard direct from Rohingya leaders about the plight facing their community in Rakhine State and I hosted a workshop in which I met survivors of sexual violence along with practitioners engaged in efforts to prevent conflict-related sexual violence.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/03/2017 16:39:28 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
