<p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) International Conference,
Time for Justice: Putting Survivors First, will take place this year and we will confirm
the exact date with the House in due course. The Foreign Secretary and I, as the Prime
Minister's Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, will
host the event.</p><p>The UK is fully committed to supporting survivors of conflict-related
sexual violence and follows a survivor-centred approach, in line with UN Security
Council Resolution 2467 on Sexual Violence in Conflict. This includes working closely
with survivor networks to ensure their perspectives inform PSVI policy and programming.
In October 2019, I appointed two UK PSVI Survivor Champions, Nadine Tunasi and Kolbassia
Haoussou. The Survivor Champions advocate for all survivors of conflict-related sexual
violence and are a vital element of our survivor-centred approach. The UK plans to
announce a contribution to the International Fund for Survivors of Conflict-Related
Sexual Violence in due course.</p>
