The European Union supports the United Nations in its efforts to combat violence against women, including the work of the Secretary-General's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Margot Wallström. The European Union also closely collaborates with the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy, and has recently reiterated its support for the implementation of the monitoring mechanism set up by resolutions 1612 (2005) and 1882 (2009) by revising the EU implementation strategy on children and armed conflict.
