The UK continues to encourage Sudan to sign and ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and to make clear our support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights principle that marriage should be entered into only with the free and full consent of spouses.</p> more like this

During my visit to Cameroon from 13 to 15 February, I pressed Prime Minister Yang to allow access by an independent and reputable agency such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) or National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to all the detainees. In his meeting with Cameroonian Prime Minister Yang in April, the Foreign Secretary pushed for the release of detainees. I also delivered the same message to Commonwealth Minister Mbayu when I met him here in London. We have also expressed our concerns through an EU statement at the June Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva and our High Commission in Yaoundé continues to lobby for humanitarian access to the detainees.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The ongoing dispute and clashes in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon are deeply concerning. The Cameroonian authorities need to take urgent steps to de-escalate current tensions and to establish a meaningful process of dialogue to address the root causes. During my visit in February to Cameroon, I met with the Prime Minister and the Ministers of External Relations, Territorial Administration, and Defence where he discussed the ongoing tensions in Cameroon's Anglophone regions. The Foreign Secretary met the Cameroonian Prime Minister during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and pressed for urgent action to resolve the dispute and associated violence. I also delivered the same message to Commonwealth Minister Mbayu when I met him here in London.</p> more like this

answer text <p>While there have been no specific surveys to determine the levels of awareness of cervical screening in Newham, national studies have found that the most common reasons women do not attend cervical screening include practical reasons such as forgetting to schedule an appointment and difficulties finding the time to attend; and limited knowledge of the benefits of screening, misconceptions of their personal risk of developing cervical cancer, fear of the result, fear of the discomfort of screening, and embarrassment.</p><p> </p><p>There is evidence that women from ethnic minority groups and for those for whom English is not a first language are less likely to participate in screening.</p><p> </p><p>Within Newham, NHS England is working with the Royal London cytology laboratory to undertake a workforce analysis of sample takers. This will identify any gaps in capacity and inform future workforce planning and provision.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018, NHS England will also commission cervical screening in sexual health clinics across Newham. This will provide better access to screening in addition to that provided within general practice.</p>

answer text <p>Information on asylum claimants is held on both the asylum case file and the main immigration database. This will include personal details of claimants and relatives such as claimed dates and places of birth, claimed religion, claimed ethnicity, as well as details of their asylum claims. The way this information is stored is such that it is often not possible to report on these information fields without conducting a manual search of both paper and electronic records. Therefore, we cannot identify how many asylum claims have been granted or refused leave from specific parts of countries of origin or as a result of political opinion<br>Published data relating to the outcomes of asylum claims from each country (including Cameroon) can be found in tab as_02 at volume 1 of the quarterly Immigration Statistics release:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-march-2018/list-of-tables#asylum" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-march-2018/list-of-tables#asylum</a></p>
