In South Sudan, we are very concerned about the recent reports from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan of targeted killings of civilians based on their ethnic origins and hate messages calling for sexual violence against people on the basis of the community they belong to. We are also concerned about women's participation in conflict prevention, resolution, protection and peacebuilding processes. None of our actions will be effective unless they are backed by the expertise, support and ownership of women and women's organizations, as well as that of civil society and community leaders.
