Similarly checks undertaken as part of the visa application process can help safeguard vulnerable applicants such as those aged under 18.</p><p>The Government therefore has no plans to waive visa requirements for Ukrainian nationals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 27/04/2022 16:01:53 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the current implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and of criticism by the Institute of Global and International Studies, and others, that there has been too much focus on addressing sexual violence rather than on gender equality and women's empowerment.
tabling member printed	Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead
uin	HL6561
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2016 answer text <p>The British Government is fully committed to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 in its entirety. The prevention of sexual violence in conflict is an important part of this. We will continue our work on this issue as part of a comprehensive programme of work. At last year’s High Level Review of UNSCR 1325, the Government announced a package of eight ambitious new commitments, which included increasing women’s meaningful participation in peace processes and wider peacebuilding efforts and ensuring that women’s rights are fully taken into account in our overseas counter-extremism work, in humanitarian emergencies, in our early warning and conflict analysis and in our military doctrine.</p><p>There is still much that the international community needs to do to deliver the commitments enshrined in UNSCR 1325. Despite clear evidence of the links between women’s participation and the success and sustainability of a peace process, all too often women remain excluded. Women and girls continue to suffer disproportionate levels of violence in conflict situations. The international community must do more to address the full range of human rights abuses that women experience in conflict. The Government will continue to prioritise this work as part of our diplomatic, development and defence work.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 10/03/2016 15:39:00 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
