Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are providing support to assist the implementation of Colombia's National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security and, if so, whether funding for this reaches local organisations.

The UK is firmly committed to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Following the launch of Colombia's WPS National Action Plan, which the UK supported, we continue to work with the Colombian Government and civil society to support its implementation. UK funding has helped advance accountability and support for thousands of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in Colombia over the last ten years. The UK continues to advocate for women's full and equal participation in peace negotiations in Colombia and on a global scale, which we made clear during the statement delivered by the UK's Chargé d'Affaires to the UN Security Council on 17 June.
