Protection SGBV

Extract:

Women and children are particularly vulnerable to this risk; they make up, in fact, 79 per cent of all detected trafficking victims. We must follow a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and cross-border approach. We must increase synergies among United Nations agencies and develop a comprehensive joint United Nations response that includes the Special Representatives of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict and on Children and Armed Conflict. On a more general note, in 2016, we passed legislation to strengthen the protection of women and children.
