Extract:

Since taking up her position as Under Secretary General and Executive Director of UN Women, Michelle Bachelet has passionately and effectively promoted the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Supported by Special Representatives Radhika Coomaraswamy and Margot Wallstrom, UN Women plays a vital role coordinating wider international efforts to implement the full suite of UN resolutions on Women Peace and Security. We commend, in particular, the efforts to improve systematic reporting of progress through the development of indicators and a strategic framework, including the Strategic Framework of UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict. In July, the United Kingdom pledged $16 million over a 2 year period to UN Women to support this important work.
