Fourthly, reparation schemes and funding frameworks should be guided by a survivor-focused approach. Both, physical and mental scars have to be treated in order to allow survivors to once again actively participate in their societies. We commend the valuable work done by UN organizations, especially the Trust Fund Against Violence Against Women, which Germany actively supports, as well as the newly created Team of Experts which advises Member States, upon their request, to combat sexual violence in or after conflict. Let me finish by stressing that we cannot separate the challenge of sexual violence from the broader security issues on the agenda of this Council.
