HC Deb 14 February 2003 vol 400 c52W
Margaret Moran

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to raise awareness of domestic violence, with particular reference to(a) supporting efforts to curb domestic violence and (b) providing services for those victims, in foreign countries and in the Commonwealth. [97750]

Mr. Rammell

The FCO is supporting a number of projects in, for example, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Uganda, China and Brazil, to counter domestic violence. The UK promotes women's enjoyments of their rights and freedoms more generally by negotiating resolutions and other documents in international fora, by funding human rights work in favour of women.
