Extract:

The European Union continues to implement its dedicated policy on women, peace and security, including through close cooperation with other international and regional organizations. In that regard, we welcome the designation of Ms. Bineta Diop as the African Union Commission Chairperson's Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security. Among the EU's support for efforts to address sexual violence is a project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that focuses on empowering women, combating impunity and reforming the security sector. The EU is continuing its work on specific training modules on human rights and gender in crisis management, helping to focus on sexual violence in armed conflicts and on training for trainers on gender and human-rights issues.
