The United Nations has made laudable steps but must do more. It is especially important to
eradicate sexual exploitation by peacekeepers. The UN must also do more to factor the issue of
women, peace, and security into development portfolios across various sectors, including health,
education, democracy and governance, and economic growth. Human trafficking, especially in
conflict situations where women and girls are often abducted by militia and turned into slaves or
“war wives” must continue to be addressed.
