  1. “Ensuring survivors’ non-discriminatory and comprehensive access to essential services, including sexual and reproductive health care and mental health services, as well as access to gender- responsive justice, is crucial. Ukraine remains committed to working closely with all stakeholders. I would like to invite the Group of Friends to visit our survivor relief centres, established in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund.”

  2. “At this stage, it is impossible to find out how many Ukrainians have been subjected to those brutal crimes, given that such violations are barely reported. The first cases of sexual violence committed by Russian soldiers against Ukrainian women, girls, men and boys were recorded there, as documented by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine and the human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine. To address and prevent conflict-related sexual violence, the framework of cooperation between the Government of Ukraine and the United Nations was signed. Ukraine became the first country to launch an all-encompassing coordination mechanism to combat conflict-related sexual violence. We also adopted a detailed implementation plan involving State institutions, civil society and international organizations.”

  3. “At the Nairobi Summit marking the 25th anniversary of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, Ukraine pledged to end gender-based violence and to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls by the year 2030. Towards achieving that goal, the Government of Ukraine has since criminalized domestic violence, formed special police units trained to address situations of domestic violence, introduced the practice of emergency protection orders and shelters and criminalized the failure to comply with such orders. After the de-occupation of a number of territories of Ukraine, we were faced with massive atrocities, including rapes and other forms of conflict-related sexual violence, committed by the Russian military against civilians.”

  4. “That must remain fundamental to our common goal of lasting international peace and security, as called for in the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace. To that end, we urge all Member States to continue to protect and promote women’s human rights and ensure the full, equal and meaningful and safe participation and leadership of women in all aspects of peace and security, with the target of 50 per cent. Support to women’s organizations and women activists is crucial in that regard. In conjunction with that target must be the effective prevention and response to all forms of sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination.”

  5. “A platform on gender mainstreaming and inclusion during recovery that ensures the inclusion of the principle of gender equality in the process of the recovery of Ukraine and that provides for better coordination between executive authorities and other relevant actors, such as civil society and business representatives, has been adopted. As the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security gathers to reaffirm the importance of resolution 1325 (2000), in preparation for its twenty- fifth year in 2025, we agree on the need to set goals for specific commitments. It is important that we unite in our call for ever-increasing gender equality and women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in political and public life.”

  6. “Throughout our repeated calls for the full respect of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, Ukraine has sought to place victims and survivors at the heart of all efforts and ensure survivors non-discriminatory and comprehensive access to essential services, including sexual and reproductive health-care services and mental health and psychological services, as well as to gender- responsive justice. Such decisions were not arrived at by chance. Over 60,000 Ukrainian women are currently defending against Russia’s aggression as part of the Ukrainian military. Ukraine has also increased the number of women who are part of Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers.”

  7. “Ukraine is implementing its second national action plan for the resolution 1325 (2000), which was amended and updated in December 2022 to address current needs and take into account the full-scale Russian aggression. The current updated national action plan recognizes that women in Ukraine must be actors and agents in the ongoing war, as well as in the recovery and reconstruction of the country. For our country, the topic of today’s discussion is of paramount importance amid the devastating gender-related consequences of the ongoing Russian armed aggression against Ukraine.”

  8. “We thank Brazil’s presidency for calling this open debate and thank all briefers for their comprehensive statements. The delegation of Ukraine aligns with the statement delivered by the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security and the statement on behalf of the European Union. We would like to make few remarks in our national capacity. Today’s event marks the anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) aimed at promoting women’s access to decision-making positions so that women can play their role as agents of change in security and defence structures. As an elected member of the Security Council for 2000-2001, Ukraine was involved in the preparation and adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), and, as a State, remains committed to its promotion, including the relevant supplemental resolutions.”
