	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department for International Development is working to improve safeguarding standards across the aid sector. We have recently written to all of our partners to remind them of their responsibility to provide their own mechanisms for reporting and investigating suspicions and/or allegations of sexual violence. Wherever these relate to a DFID programme we also expect that our partners report those to us in a timely manner. DFID’s specialist team will then provide oversight of the investigatory response to ensure it meets our standards, providing dedicated support as required.</p><p> </p><p>We urge all survivors of sexual violence in South Sudan, including aid workers, to report the harm committed against them.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/11/2018 15:43:05 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2018 answer text <p>Data collected by the EU- and US-funded Aid in Danger project (from both open and confidential sources) show that, between January 2015 and December 2017, there were 12 incidents of sexual violence and abuse committed against aid workers (individuals employed by or attached to a humanitarian, multi-mandated, UN or government agency, foreign or South Sudanese) in South Sudan. Aid in Danger reports that the low number of incidents recorded in South Sudan suggests that sexual violence against aid workers goes under-reported.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 11/10/2018 16:08:33 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
