Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent steps her Department has taking to tackle gender-based violence against Rohingya women and girls.

We remain deeply concerned about sexual and gender-based violence in the Rohingya crisis. The UK has led the way in speed and scale of response to the Rohingya crisis, providing £129 million in funding since August 2017, and we are prioritising protecting and safeguarding women and girls.

Our latest funding will reach over 250,000 people with sexual and reproductive health services including targeted training, support to deal with gender-based violence and family planning.
