<p>Last November I convened a Call to Action in relation to keeping women and girls

donors, and has already resulted in improved approaches in the Philippines and Syria.
I pledged £21.6 million further funding to ensure this work delivered tangible outcomes
for women and girls including £4 million to ensure survivors of sexual violence receive
comprehensive support services. The US will host a follow-up event in September and
this summer the Foreign Secretary will host a summit on his Preventing Sexual Violence
in Conflict Initiative, which aims to tackle the culture of impunity for sexual violence
committed in conflict.</p>
