officials are urgently assessing the UN-led Sexual and Gender-Based Violence response
in Bangladesh, including the level of identification and outreach and clinical management
and what additional support the UK may usefully provide.</p><p>DFID has funded the
deployment of an international expert to UNFPA in Cox's Bazar to lead the Gender-Based
Violence Sub-Sector, part of the UNHCR-led Protection Sector of the international
humanitarian response. We are currently in dialogue with the Coordinator to better
understand the level of incidence, response and coordination and associated challenges.
We will then assess whether deploying additional UK expertise is required to reinforce
UN-led efforts, including documentation, already underway in country.</p>
