<p>Through the Conflict Pool and its successor, the Conflict, Stability and Security
Fund, the United Kingdom has provided over £8 million in funding to projects related
to the training of Syrians to collect evidence of human rights violations and abuses.
This includes the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, capacity building for doctors
in producing evidence of torture and rape, enabling survivors to find access to psychosocial
support networks, expanding local networks of Syrian human rights defenders, and support
for justice and accountability.</p><p>The Department for International Development
is also providing up to £25 million from 2015 to 2018 to UN Population Fund (UNFPA)
to strengthen the prevention of - and response to – gender based violence (GBV), and
provide sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for women and girls. The project
aims to ensure that survivors of GBV receive the vital medical, psychosocial, and
security services they need. It establishes safe spaces for women and girls across
Syria as well as supports hospitals and mobile health units to deliver vital SRH services.
In addition, UNFPA coordinates the wider GBV response in Syria at the national and
regional level.</p>
