To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the report by Aid to the Church in Need entitled Hear Her Cries; and what progress his Department has made on studying its contents.

We have taken note of Aid to the Church in Need's report entitled "Hear Her Cries"; and we recognise that women and girls from religious or belief minority communities can suffer disproportionally because of both their gender and faith. Our human rights policy work considers the multiple ways in which human rights interact, for example the importance of addressing issues such as child, early and forced marriage and forced conversion experienced by some women and girls from religious or belief minority communities.
