Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what recent assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the treatment of women and girls by Houthi groups in Yemen.
Answered by David Rutley - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK remains deeply concerned by reports of gender-based violence (GBV), including conflict-related sexual violence, in Yemen. We know that in conflict, women and girls are disproportionately impacted. That is why we have made Yemen a focus country in the UK's National Action Plan on Women, Peace & Security. Through the National Action Plan, cross-government efforts will prioritise women's full, equal, meaningful and safe participation in conflict prevention, reduction and resolution. The UK champions the important role women, youth and civil society can play - both in securing, and sustaining, peace in Yemen.
In addition, FCDO funds our Women and Children Programme to address the needs of women and children in Yemen. Funding for 2023-2024 is £38 million. This will include interventions aimed at preventing and responding to GBV in subsequent years.
