Ms Carol Ballantine:

I can speak only on behalf of the NGO for which I work, which is Trócaire, which is church based. We are speaking in particular about conflict situations, which often involve humanitarian responses. Our organisation has somebody whose role is protection. Protection in humanitarian responses generally involves the protection of human rights, and has a particular emphasis on women and children because they tend to be the most vulnerable. This would involve post-rape care and responses to sexual violence. With regard to church limitations, there are clear church guidelines on contraception.
