We appreciate the UK’s leadership in the @end_svc#PSVI Conference. Senior Official Fotovat and @WhiteHouseGPC’s Jen Klein and Rachel Vogelstein joined the PM’s Special Envoy for Preventing Sexual Violence @tariqahmadbt to discuss U.S.-UK shared priorities on CRSV.
PS Oliphant had a chance to sit down with the UK PM's Special Representative on #PreventingSexualViolence in Conflict, Lord Ahmad, at the #PSVI conference. We are committed to continuing the strong partnership and further engaging on efforts to prevent and address #CRSV. 🇨🇦🤝🇬🇧
Today I signed a Presidential Memorandum that will strengthen our nation's efforts to combat sexual violence as a weapon of war, a too-often overlooked and underreported crime.
I remain committed to confronting gender-based violence – in all forms – here and around the world.
It isn’t combat, it is cowardice.
Sexual violence in war violates international values as severely as the use of chemical weapons.
