Security Council Open Debate on Sexual Violence in Conflict, April 2018: Turkey (Extract 1)

Extract:

Sexual violence significantly aggravates the severe effects of conflicts. Moreover, the nexus between conflict-related sexual violence and terrorism, human trafficking and organized crime further worsens its impact. Such trends and emerging concerns require a robust international response. We reiterate that the prevention of sexual violence should constitute an integral part of wider efforts to prevent conflict.
