"The situation experienced by women in armed conflict zones is intolerable, particularly in Africa. Sexual violence against women continues to be used as a weapon of war. These crimes have disastrous physical and psychological consequences for the victims, who are often rejected by their communities. This report robustly condemns these crimes and stresses the need for national authorities to bring an end to impunity for the perpetrators of these acts and to strengthen justice systems so that they can be sentenced. It also highlights the need to promote education for the emancipation of women, and for campaigns to raise awareness of respect for women’s dignity. It also underlines the importance of increasing the number of women in peace-negotiation processes, as well as in military peace-building operations, particularly in leadership roles. Finally, it emphasises that institutional gender equality mechanisms and commitments should be put in place in post-conflict situations in which reconstruction and reintegration activities are being carried out as a first stage towards protecting and promoting women’s rights. I voted for this report for the above reasons."@en1
