We also strongly encourage states to implement UN Security Council resolution 2106 that underlines the
importance of providing timely assistance to survivors of sexual violence. Resolution 2106 urges United
Nations entities and donors to provide non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, including
sexual and reproductive health, psychosocial, legal, and livelihood support and other multi-sectoral services
for survivors of sexual violence. It also calls for support to national institutions and local civil society networks
in increasing resources and strengthening capacities to provide the abovementioned services to survivors of
sexual violence. Finally, it encourages Member States and donors to support national and international
programs that assist victims of sexual violence, including in the provision of sexual and reproductive health
and rights.
Thank you Mr Chairperson
