Fourth: Germany regularly supports women's organisations and human rights defenders financially and logistically. To name but a few examples: We have organized regional conferences in Tunisia and Argentina in 2011, and we will be sponsoring a conference in Panama on gender training, prevention of sexual violence and providing response tools and unhindered access to justice. Germany has also committed itself to the “EU-Charter of the European Shelter Cities Initiative” to increase protection of human rights defenders. Furthermore, I am happy to announce that Germany is working on a national action plan to further enhance the implementation of resolution 1325.
