And when we hear from survivors, be it at the UN Security Council or anywhere across the world, imagine the strength and courage and conviction of those survivors that not only have they survived, they become the most powerful of advocates on this most important agenda that we have in front of us today. Not only have they survived that particular violation of their person, their private space, as Nadine rightly said – they have survived. Thank you to Ms Naw Hser Hser and Nadine to you for your briefing today.Īnd if I may, Your Excellencies, just to put into context, when we hear from survivors at the UN Security Council, and I want you to think about this very, very carefully, they have been through the most abhorrent violation of their person – unimaginable in every sense. Thank you also to our incredible briefers. I have had the honour to work with you directly, and we continue to recognize the important work of the United Nations in this respect. You have led this agenda with conviction, with courage and principle. Firstly, may I begin by thanking you, Special Representative Pramila Patten, for your ongoing work in this area.
