To protect them requires comprehensive approach and collective efforts. Like everyone else, they have the right to live a life free from violence. They are the most vulnerable group that deserves the attention and help from the international community. They are the girls of the Sahel refusing to give up learning despite the specter of terrorism and kidnapping by extremist forces. They are the Afghan mothers looking for food and warm clothes for their children in the humanitarian disaster aggravated by unilateral sanctions. They are the Palestinian women living in constant fear of house demolition, violence and attacks. The vast majority of these women are ordinary people. They should be treated equally without exception. Women affected by armed conflict are all entitled to security and protection, regardless of whether they are part of the peace process or not. China wishes to emphasize the following:įirst, strengthen the protection of women in conflict areas in every way possible and make no exception. To achieve these goals, they Council should stick to the right direction and stay on the right course. Protecting women in armed conflicts and promoting their participation in political and peace processes is an important part of the Security Council's women, peace and security agenda.
We have been working actively and relentlessly toward this goal. Asoka.Ĭhina attaches high importance to the issue of women, peace and security, and like other countries, China pays high attention to the protection of women's rights.
