Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support her department is giving to women-led humanitarian and peace-building groups in Palestine.

In both Lebanon and Palestine, we ensure that our humanitarian and recovery efforts recognise and address the specific needs of women and girls.

The UK will continue to advocate for the full, equal, meaningful and safe participation of women in political and peace processes in the region.
