<p>The British Government is committed to the implementation of UN Security Council
Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS), including responses to conflict
related sexual violence. This commitment was demonstrated by the launch in December
2014 of the UK Implementation Plan to accompany our National Action Plan (NAP) on
WPS and my appointment in June by the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member
for Witney (Mr Cameron), as his Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence
in Conflict. The UK is also a strong advocate internationally for the protection of
civilians in conflict, including ensuring that protection of civilians is integrated
across both humanitarian and development work. All these agendas span multiple strands
of the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR). The Cabinet Office is leading
the consultation process for the SDSR, and will look to engage with our key allies,
industry, academics, and a range of other interested parties.</p>
