1. “First, I would like to highlight the story of Hamidah Hassan, who was introduced in our Prime Minister's address to the General Assembly in September (see A/69/PV.9). She is a girl of 10 years living in camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mogadishu. Japan provided the camps with solar lanterns made by a Japanese company, Panasonic, which banks electrical energy generated from sunlight during the day and converts it to lamplight at night. A lighted tent not only acts as a deterrent to sexual violence, but also under that light, she is now able to work and study later into the evening and dreams that one day that she will become a doctor. Secondly, economic independence is critically important to the advancement of the status of women and to decreasing violence against them, especially in displaced settings.”

2. “Mlambo-Ngcuka, tExecutive Director of UN-Women, and Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, for their participation and contributions. The Chair of the conference drafted a summary of the opinions expressed during the symposium and issued a set of 12 concrete proposals. Turning to today's agenda item, Japan, in cooperation with United Nations agencies such as UN-Women and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as various non-governmental organizations, has been supporting numerous projects around the globe related to the main theme of today's discussion. I would like to showcase some of our efforts.”

3. “I thank you very much, Madam President, for your initiative to convene this open debate on such a timely issue. At the outset, I should like to emphasize that the Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Shinzo Abe, places great importance on the promotion and protection of women's rights and women's participation. We aim for a society in which women shine, not only domestically but also globally, including in conflict-affected and post-disaster situations. In order to effectively empower women, we must undertake holistic interventions, which include improving education, enhancing livelihoods, increasing access to reproductive health care and reducing gender-based violence. In September, Japan hosted the symposium of the World Assembly for Women (WAW! Tokyo 2014). I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms.”
