Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with UK businesses working in countries in receipt of Official Development Assistance funding on support provided by those businesses for ending violence and harassment in the workplace.

Through the various partners that we work with on this agenda, including the Ethical Trading Initiative, ISEAL Alliance and UN Global Compact, we are providing support to a large constituency of UK businesses on tackling violence and harassment across their operations.
