Answer
DFID does not provide specific funding for ethnic Chin refugees in India who are victims of sexual violence. Improving the lives of women and girls is, however, a significant aspect of DFID’s programme in India which includes developing an evidence-based strategy to prevent Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
