answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2020 answer text <p>As stated in my [Minister Adams] answer to PQ 31501, the UK is fully committed to supporting all survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, and follows a survivor-centred approach. We recognise that women from minority religious communities can often suffer in situations of conflict because of both their gender and their faith. That is why we ensure that our human rights policy work considers the intersectionality of human rights, and the importance of addressing the specific vulnerabilities experienced by women from religious minority communities. Examples of our work include strengthening access to justice for survivors through training faith and belief groups on how to document and respond to sexual violence within their communities, and providing greater support and access to holistic care for children born of conflict-related sexual violence.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 28/04/2020 11:01:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2020 answer text <p>The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) is part of the UK's Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan (NAP), which includes our strategy for tackling and preventing conflict-related sexual violence. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will be developing an additional three-year strategy on PSVI, which remains a top priority for the British Government. Our PSVI objectives will remain to champion wider restorative justice for survivors and hold perpetrators to account; support all survivors and children born of conflict-related sexual violence, and tackle the stigma they face including those from religious minority communities; and prevent sexual violence in conflict.</p><p>We are working with international faith and belief leaders to issue a 'Declaration of Humanity' which calls for the end of sexual violence in conflict and to tackle the stigma so often faced by survivors. We will also provide support to faith leaders and faith groups by training them on how to document and respond to conflict-related sexual violence, and will strengthen access to holistic care for all survivors, including for women from minority religious communities who have experienced sexual violence. We will ensure that the three-year strategy is survivor-centred, working closely with the UK's PSVI Survivor Champions throughout its development.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 28/04/2020 11:08:00 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
