<p>The UK remains deeply concerned by reports of gender-based violence (GBV), including
conflict-related sexual violence, in Yemen. We know that in conflict, women and girls
are disproportionately impacted. That is why we have made Yemen a focus country in
the UK's National Action Plan on Women, Peace & Security. Through the National
Action Plan, cross-government efforts will prioritise women's full, equal, meaningful
and safe participation in conflict prevention, reduction and resolution. The UK champions
the important role women, youth and civil society can play - both in securing, and
sustaining, peace in Yemen.</p><p>In addition, FCDO funds our Women and Children Programme
to address the needs of women and children in Yemen. Funding for 2023-2024 is £38
million. This will include interventions aimed at preventing and responding to GBV
in subsequent years.</p>
