Fears raised over future of Angelina Jolie and William Hague’s anti-sexual violence programme after Starmer’s aid cuts
Angelina Jolie and William Hague have fears about the future of an attempt initiated to combat sexual violence that had been divided into chaos after Sir Keir Starmer’s help deductions.
In the conflict attempt (PSVI), a financing agreement would end on Thursday to prevent sexual violence, and the decisions of the Prime Minister’s decision to reduce international aid urgently want to accept a new budget for the program.
In October, the PSVI’s annual review of the annual review of the existing government priorities for a strong strategic adaptation ”wanted to be expanded. However, Sir Keir’s deductions financed an increase in the defense budget came only four months later.
Government officials insisted that the program would be financed by the end of 2026 and left millions of pounds for the next financial year. However, Money seems to have come without further adopting its first settlement to a longer time, experts said that the program faced uncertainty for months until a new multi -year agreement was announced.
In October, the program said that the program “shows impressive results ve and provides victims of sexual violence to rebuild their lives.
He also stressed that PSVI should lean on current crises, including ongoing clashes in Sudan and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Sources in the foreign aid sector said that when Rachel Reeves became clear after the autumn budget, the government hopes that the government would accept a new budget for the plan.
However, he warned that Sir Keir was facing a period of chaos and uncertainty due to foreign aid deductions, and left a great uncertainty about what the next step would be and they were even afraid that it could be undermined.
The program is believed to face at least six months of limb at a time when investing is more important than ever.
Former Foreign Minister Andrew Mitchell, former Tor, said that the British leadership was at risk with deductions.
The deputy said: “All the great British leadership – in really terrible places – where women are exploited and their lives are explained by the use of rape and violence as war weapons, the establishment and support of a Labor Government will return to prevent big programs.”
PSVI was founded in 2012 by former Foreign Minister Lord Hague with the support of Hollywood player and former UN special ambassador Ms. Jolie.
The conflict in London came after the last sexual violence at the global summit, and Ms. Jolie promised governments to be taken into account for the end of sexual violence in warons.
At that time, Mrs. Jolie said: ız We are here for the nine -year -old girl in Uganda, kidnapped and forced to sexual slavery.
“We are here for the man in Bosnia years after the rape, we are still stamped, we cannot earn enough money to buy bread for his family.
“We are here for all the forgotten, hidden survivors made to feel embarrassed or abandoned.
“And for rape children – we want them to hear the stories of the whole world and understand that this injustice cannot be tolerated and that this sadness and compassion are not enough.”
In addition to the investigation of the initiative of October, the government’s recently appointed special representative in the PSVI, the plan of Britain’s “global leader for sexual violence on conflict, said that it helps.
Financing has helped more than 55,000 survivors who have survived in the last three years to reconstruct their lives to access justice aid and other justice services.
However, when Sir Keir’s aid deductions ended on Thursday, the PSVI was at risk and the Prime Minister is facing calls to restore the plan.
He is an academician specialized in gender and armed conflict. Paul The global coalition against sexual violence in the conflict is already due to the collapse of the USAID.
“The British government united the crisis by neglecting the PSVI during the first year in ruling, and then with unprecedented aid deductions that will not be relieved in this parliament. Reducing the protection for people around the world in the name of natural defense, a wrong economy and loss of progress in the last decade.”
The government said it provided £ 3.85 million pounds to finance the program for next year after allocating £ 12.5 million for the last three years. Authorities, PSVI’s annual investigation will be published later this year, he said.
Last week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs admits that foreign aid cuts will increase, and the reduction of expenditure has the greatest impact on the education of women and girls and projects in Africa.
In February, Sir Keir received an ax in his foreign aid budget to the pressure of Donald Trump to increase Donald Trump’s defense expenditures.
The Prime Minister said that the MPS would finance the increase in defense expenditures by reducing the financing for overseas assistance from 0.5 percent to 0.3 percent from 0.5 percent to 2027.
Sir Keir’s deputies said that the deputies are not “happy ,, until 2027, the UK’s GDP will allow 2.5 percent to spend the goal of spending.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked to comment.
