Sexual violence against women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations should remain a matter of high priority to the international community. More needs to be done to hold accountable the perpetrators of such heinous acts.

It is therefore imperative that the Council develop the appropriate mechanisms to ensure women's participation in all aspects of mediation, post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding to address sexual violence in conflict.
