Da’esh and its ilk have shown that they are capable of immense cruelty through the prevalant use of sexual violence and the enslavement and trade of women and girls for recruitment and financial purposes. In that regard, the practices of groups such as Da’esh and Boko Haram in perpetuating sexual violence, including through the trafficking of women and children, demands heightened and greater attention and responses from the Council.

Women and children subjected to any violations and abuses, including trafficking and sexual violence at the hands of Da’esh and similar groups, should be considered as victims and given access to funding and assistance.
