Protecting Women and Girls

"Almost a decade after the adoption of Resolution 1325, the need to increase women's participation in peace processes and to combat sexual violence in conflict zones has not abated. Women and girls whose lives and futures are on the line cannot wait. The United States reaffirms its commitment ... to a world no longer blighted by impunity, assault, discrimination, and the use of rape as a weapon of war."
