Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Tunisian counterpart on convicting perpetrators of violence against women.
The UK helps protect women's rights in Tunisia by supporting improved public policies and services for victims and survivors of gender-based violence, in collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Tunisian Ministry of Family, Women, Children and the Elderly. We also support gender equality by enhancing the skills and knowledge of women-led civil society organisations, including in marginalised regions. The UK is committed to supporting the rights of women and girls worldwide and in Tunisia.
