Powerful words from @Rola_Roukbi to the #UNSC: "Rebuilding Syria is not only about rebuilding roads and homes.

It is about rebuilding trust...trust that the law exists to protect people rather than becoming a weapon against them."

At the #UNSC, @Rola_Roukbi calls for human rights, women's participation, civic space, accountability and rule of law to be central to the UN's role in #Syria, and any UN engagement with the Syrian transitional authorities.

"A victim is a victim, and a violation is a violation, regardless of who committed it," @Rola_Roukbi tells the #UNSC, describing the need for accountability for all violations in #Syria — past and present.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

In #Syria, women continue to find themselves at the margins of decision-making. But women's participation and women's rights are not issues that can be deferred, @Rola_Roukbi tells the #UNSC.

Powerful last words from @DrEvaKhair to the #UNSC: close the protection gap in #Sudan, confront those fueling the war, and act before another generation is lost.

At the #UNSC, @DrEvaKhair calls for women’s rights and participation to be central — not secondary — to protection, justice and peace in #Sudan.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

The war in #Sudan is a war on civilians, @DrEvaKhair tells the #UNSC.

"A war in which it is infinitely more dangerous to be a civilian than a soldier."

A war that, for Sudanese women and girls, "is also being waged on their bodies."

Powerful final words from Carine Jocelyn to the #UNSC, recalling recent remarks from @AntonioGuterres: “The greatest disgrace in Haiti is not gang violence but the indifference of a world that has looked the other way for far too long.”

At the #UNSC Carine Jocelyn calls on the international community to take urgent action to chart a new course for #Haiti.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC that harassment and threats keep many women in #Haiti from voting or running for office.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC that women-led groups are working to build lasting solutions for #Haiti: “Despite extreme challenges, these groups are bringing communities together not only to meet immediate needs but also to build lasting solutions shaped by Haitians for Haiti.”

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Many victims & survivors in #Haiti do not report #CRSV due to fear of reprisal and lack of safe & accessible reporting mechanisms, Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC. Attacks on health facilities hinder access to #SRH services including post-rape care and safe abortion.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

In #Haiti, “women and girls are systematically raped, trafficked and sexually exploited by gangs. They are being targeted in their homes, at displacement sites, and as they go about their daily lives,” Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC that despite the severe crisis in #Haiti, many Haitians are denied refugee status abroad.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Today, we stand with Carine Jocelyn, Founder and Director of the Haitian Women’s Collective, as she briefs the #UNSC on #CRSV against women and girls in #Haiti.

Final words from @KaavyaAsoka to the #UNSC: Your role is to amplify the voices of courageous WHRDs—who "speak out, document, deliver, protest, and build the resistance that is the lifeblood of peace and democracy."
