answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2023 answer text <p>Prior to the outbreak of conflict on 15 April, the British Embassy in Khartoum had made considerable efforts to ensure the involvement of civil society, community representatives and marginalised groups, including women, in the political process. The UK is working closely with Saudi Arabia and the US as part of the Quad (UK, US, KSA and UAE) and supported the Jeddah Process. These talks are now suspended. The UK is working through a new African Union-led Core Group to ensure inclusive regional and international action to secure a viable peace process. We are working to ensure that gendered conflict analysis underpins all aspects of the crisis response, and to identify opportunities to amplify women's voices, particularly women mediators. To achieve sustainable peace, it is essential that ceasefire and peace negotiations involve civil society and women's groups.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/07/2023 15:32:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2023 answer text <p>The UK condemns all human rights violations, including the escalation of Conflict Related Sexual Violence against women and girls in Sudan. A UK-drafted resolution passed at the UN Human Rights Council on 11 May highlighted the urgent need to protect civilians and humanitarian workers and ensure accountability for human rights violations. The UK Government has enhanced its atrocity risk monitoring, including monitoring of conflict-related sexual violence. We continue to support the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Sudan in monitoring and reporting on human rights violations. We call on both sides to abide by their responsibilities under International Law, protect civilians and grant immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access, including providing medical assistance and psychosocial support for survivors of sexual violence.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/07/2023 15:35:43 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
