Violence against women in all its manifestations must be dealt with firmly and decisively. In that regard, my delegation reiterates Kenya's commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and the follow-up resolutions.

Sexual abuse is perhaps the most dehumanizing crime known to humankind. The international community currently has the framework to bring about more action and visibility to address this heinous crime in times of conflict. Prevention is the cornerstone of any strategy to address the challenges that society faces. We therefore must address the underlying causes of conflict that provide the springboard for redressing sexual abuse cases.
