Finally, the European Union continues to implement its dedicated policy on women, peace and security, adopted in 2008, making use of tools as diverse as development cooperation, the Common Security and Defence Policy and political dialogue. The varied EU support to initiatives related to women, peace and security amounts to approximately €200 million per year. The European Union now has gender advisers or focal points in each of its crisis management missions around the world. We continue our work on specific training modules on human rights and gender in crisis management, ensuring a focus on sexual violence in armed conflicts. The EU continues to work closely with the United Nations — for example, through its support to UN-Women in carrying out the project “Women Connect across Conflicts”, which is aimed at building accountability for the implementation of the Council's relevant resolutions.
