<p>The Department for International Development is working to improve safeguarding
standards across the aid sector. We have recently written to all of our partners to
remind them of their responsibility to provide their own mechanisms for reporting
and investigating suspicions and/or allegations of sexual violence. Wherever these
relate to a DFID programme we also expect that our partners report those to us in
a timely manner. DFID’s specialist team will then provide oversight of the investigatory
response to ensure it meets our standards, providing dedicated support as required.</p><p>
</p><p>We urge all survivors of sexual violence in South Sudan, including aid workers,
to report the harm committed against them.</p>
