answer text <p>The UK does not have economic sanctions on Zimbabwe. The UK has targeted sanctions on five Zimbabwean individuals to hold them to account for serious human rights violations and corruption. These sanctions do not target, and specifically seek to avoid impact on, the wider economy and the people of Zimbabwe. Therefore we assess that UK sanctions do not impact the healthcare sector or energy security in Zimbabwe.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The sentencing to death of protestors in Iran is abhorrent. I [Minister Rutley] condemned this tragic development in the House on 16 November. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and will challenge the Iranian regime's violent response to protests. On 14 November, the UK sanctioned 24 individuals for violations of human rights in the repression of protests. This is on top of sanctions on 10 October against Iran's 'so called' morality police and seven security officials. On 24 November, the UK supported a successful Human Rights Council resolution to establish a UN investigation into the regime's appalling human rights violations. The FCDO is also working closely with the United States and partners to seek the removal of Iran from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) remains a top priority for the UK Government. Since 2012, the FCDO has allocated over £50 million to PSVI-related activities. The UK committed £2.6 million in FY 20-21 and £4.2 million in FY 21-22 to the PSVI. On 28 November at the PSVI International Conference, the Foreign Secretary will announce a new PSVI Strategy and programmes over the next three years to deliver PSVI strategic objectives. Across these objectives, we will harness world-class UK expertise, including the UK's PSVI Team of Experts and by bringing our diplomatic and defence levers to bear on tackling the scourge of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). PSVI funding is complemented by wider investments across FCDO, such as the What Works to Prevent Violence: Impact at Scale programme, which will contribute to generating a world-class evidence base on what works to prevent CRSV.</p> more like this
