“It is a sad reality that, in too many parts of the world, women are among the most vulnerable groups. We continue to witness horrifying cases of violence against women and girls, including sexual violence. We call on all States to adopt urgent measures to prevent such abhorrent incidents. When women are excluded from the society and prevented from enjoying basic rights, participating in public life or simply exercising a profession, it has a massive impact not only on the country's development but also on its overall stability. We expect the relevant UN bodies to step up their efforts to ensure a peaceful and dignified life for all, including women.”
