UN Security Council Resolution 1820 (Toolkits & Guides)

Source: UNIFEM
Organization: United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)
Theme: Violence Against Women - General
Region: INTERNATIONAL

By recognising sexual violence as crime of concern to the international community, 1820 signals that women should never bear the blame/shame of rape. UNSCR 1820 links sexual violence prevention with women‟s participation in peace processes, stressing women's leadership and participation.
