Ending Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Against Women and Children

Also from the Partnership for Global Justice:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chaired a UN Security Council Session which resulted in the unanimous adoption of Resolution 1888 which calls for the end of sexual violence against women and children in areas of conflict. Systematic rape as a weapon of war has been ignored for too long. Now the US is leading this new effort to protect women and children in conflict situations and to end impunity for the perpetrators.

Please send a word of thanks and encouragement to Secretary of State Clinton.
