<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 is currently developing an additional three-year strategy on PSVI, which remains
a top priority for the UK Government.</p><p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department
for International Development (DFID) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will all contribute
to this strategy, not only in London but across the network of Embassies in countries
where conflict-related sexual violence issues are acute. This work will be overseen
by the joint FCO-DFID Minister of State for South Asia and the Commonwealth and Prime
Minister's Special Representative for Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, Lord
Ahmad of Wimbledon.</p><p>Our PSVI objectives will remain to strengthen justice and
support for survivors and hold the perpetrators to account; tackle the stigma faced
by survivors, including children born of sexual violence in conflict; and prevent
sexual violence in conflict. The Government will ensure the three-year strategy is
survivor-centred, working closely with PSVI Survivor Champions throughout its development.</p>
