"As a member of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, I endorsed the report on women’s situation in war. Among the many valuable observations and recommendations contained in the report, two matters are of particular significance.
Firstly, in view of the mediatory skills of women, they should, amongst other things, be included in international teams leading peace negotiations and they should hold positions of leadership and positions related to management and training.
Secondly, during a war, women are at particular risk of all kinds of physical violence, particularly sexual violence. In relation to this, it is necessary to increase cooperation with and aid to national and local women’s organisations. These organisations are most aware of the degree of danger to women and can give earlier warning of such situations and take preventative action.
It is crucial that the perpetrators of violence against women bear responsibility for their deeds. The perpetrators must not be left with a feeling of impunity, and the victims must not be left with the belief that they are alone in their tragedy and that no one is really helping them. In accordance with the resolution, the question of eliminating impunity should be one of the main subjects discussed at peace negotiations. I also support the establishment of women’s clinics to deal with sexual and psychological violence in war zones."@en1
