answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/04/2018 answer text <p>​​We raise the protection needs of the victims of Daesh atrocities with the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government regularly. We have made clear, through our Embassy in Baghdad and our Consulate General in Erbil, the importance of protecting civilians and of Iraq's meeting its human rights responsibilities, which includes ensuring the rule of law. We welcome the commitments of Iraqi Prime Minister Abadi to investigate all allegations of human rights abuses and violations, including those committed against minorities, and to hold those responsible to account.</p><p>In March, the Minister for the Commonwealth and UN, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, visited Iraq including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Minister launched the UK's Fourth National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security and encouraged efforts to hold Daesh to account for its crimes, build support for survivors of sexual violence and, end the stigma attached to victims of those crimes.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 06/04/2018 11:38:37 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>It is difficult to estimate accurately the number of women and girls held in sexual slavery by Daesh. Ultimately the only way to free these women is to finally defeat Daesh and liberate all remaining areas under their control. We must also ensure that those women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence are supported properly and that those responsible for these crimes are brought to justice. The UK is urging justice and accountability for the survivors of sexual violence and for an end to the stigma that they, and children born of rape, face. Our work includes leadership in ensuring the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2379 on Daesh Accountability; and contributing £1m to support the establishment of a UN investigative team that will collect evidence of Daesh crimes in Iraq.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/04/2018 16:14:14 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
