Extracts
from WILPF CSW51 Statement:
While discrimination and violence against
the girl child is present world-wide and in times of peace,
some of its most devastating examples and effects are seen
in armed-conflict. The impact on girls of armed conflict is
particularly severe. Not only are they particularly vulnerable
as children, but their being girl children mean that this
impact is compounded. That they are differently affected and
have specific needs and interest and require specific protection
is recognized in several Security Council Resolutions –
resolution 1325 on women, peace and security and resolutions
1261, 1314, 1379, 1460, 1539 and 1612 – all dealing
with specific issues regarding children in armed conflict.
International and humanitarian law provides protection for
girls against harm and abuse during armed conflict and particular
protections are found in the Optional Protocol to the Convention
on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children
in Armed Conflict
WILPF calls on all Member States to respect
this international law and more broadly to commit to the goals
and objectives that they seek to further. WILPF urges governments
to implement the recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting
held by the Division for the Advancement of Women, in collaboration
with UNICEF on “The girl child and armed conflict: Recognizing
and addressing grave violations of girls’ human rights.”
