answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>Since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, there has been a significant escalation of gender-based violence (GBV) in Sudan. The UK has pivoted our programme delivery to focus on GBV prevention, and protection and care for rape survivors. We have also integrated consideration of conflict-related sexual violence into the humanitarian system, making use of Women's Centres, mobile clinics and internally displaced persons' gathering points, for community engagement and service provision. In 2023, UK support provided for the delivery of 83,399 consultations offering sexual and reproductive health services, and delivered mental health and psychological support to over 104,225 people.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 15/04/2024 10:58:35 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2022 answer text <p>Our thoughts are with those affected by the current situation in Darfur, we continue to condemn the violence. On 29 April, the UN Security Council responded to our request by issuing a press statement, calling for the cessation of violence and destruction, the need for Sudanese authorities to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and for transparent investigations into any crimes committed. We have also reinforced our concerns with the Sudanese authorities, most recently during a visit to Khartoum by the UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan on 25-28 June. The UK continues to push for an end to sexual and gender-based violence. Those working to prevent sexual violence against women and girls must be able to do so without fear of reprisal.</p><p>We understand that the fragile security situation across Sudan has been exacerbated by the political crisis since the military coup. The UK continues to call for all political actors to engage in dialogue to resolve the current crisis, and implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement, including deployment of the National Action Plan for Civilian Protection.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 22/07/2022 13:19:07 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
