British and Australia embassies’ fight to end sexual violence

Supporting the call to end this injustice, the British and Australian embassies are participating in a Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict hosted by British Foreign Secretary William Hague, together with one of the campaign’s staunchest supporters, the Special Envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie.

One of the best ways to end sexual violence in conflict is to ensure women have a meaningful role in conflict resolution. To highlight the significant contribution of women to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, the embassies are sponsoring a delegation of Filipino women who have played key roles in conflict resolution and peace building to attend the Summit and share their experiences.
