Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 11 January 2012.
Democratic Republic of Congo
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister recognise the systematic violence being done to women by police, military and non-state armed groups in the DRC, which means that the engagement of women in security sector reform is essential? Through UK funding to the DRC, will the Government ensure that women’s groups are provided with the knowledge, the skills and the resources they need to hold the security services to account?
- Answer
-
Yes, we will. I think I can speak on behalf of my honourable and right honourable friends in DfID in saying that this is a central consideration in the substantial programme of aid, assistance and reform that the department is carrying forward, as well as in all our concerns in dealings with MONUSCO and the United Nations.
