Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 12 November 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to which countries he plans to deploy teams of experts as part of his Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative; and what the (a) proposed timetable and (b) planned duration of those deployments is.
The UK Team of Experts is now 70 strong. We are currently in the process of assessing where it will deploy. To identify and prioritise deployments we have conducted country level assessments and consultations in: Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Mali, Colombia, Guatemala and Sri Lanka. These assessments have examined the extent and impact of sexual violence, the national and international response to date and the particular role the UK can play in reinforcing or complementing existing efforts.
Each team-deployment will be tailored to local needs and circumstances.
Each deployment will vary in duration.
