Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps her Department plans to take support transgender and non-binary Ukrainian overcome barriers preventing them from leaving Ukraine safely.

The UK is committed to the principle of non-discrimination on any grounds, including on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Combating violence and discrimination against LGBT+ people forms an important part of our wider international human rights work. It is important that all those seeking to leave Ukraine are able to do so; we will continue to liaise with authorities on the ground to ensure this principle is respected.
