Senator BOB CARR (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (14:39): Australia is a committed supporter of UN Women. Today I announced a further Australian contribution of $6.7 million to support the work of this body. This is specifically targeted at funding refuges, counselling and legal support for women driven from their homes by domestic violence. It will support women in Cambodia and Uganda who have suffered from revenge crimes like acid attacks for perceived slights. It includes counselling and support for women who are sexually assaulted in conflict zones, including in Liberia, where there is evidence of rape being used as a weapon of war during the civil uprising. It builds on other Australian initiatives, including doubling funding for family planning services in developing countries to $50 million a year by 2016 to prevent unwanted pregnancies and save an estimated 200,000 lives.
