1. “We must always hold perpetrators accountable, as justice provides a glimmer of hope to the victims, while impunity will only lead to new crimes and violations. In conclusion, Estonia affirms its efforts to advance the role of women and girls and to implement resolution 1325 (2000). We will continue to support UN-Women, UNICEF, the United Nations Population Fund and the Offices of the Secretary-General’s Special Representatives on Sexual Violence in Conflict and for Children and Armed Conflict in their activities.”

2. “In Afghanistan, the Taliban’s actions seek to gradually erase Afghan women from public life, depriving them of education and health care. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, conflict-related sexual violence continues to affect a countless number of women and children, who are in desperate need of our support. The brave women of Iran, who despite the harsh consequences they face have been at the forefront of protests demanding their basic rights and dignity, should be respected and supported. However, today the European Union imposed sanctions on nine persons responsible for committing sexual violence and other violations of women’s rights. Among them are two Russian commanders sanctioned for their deeds in Ukraine.”

3. “Those who remain in Ukraine are at the mercy of Russian soldiers and mercenaries, who use sexual and physical violence, exploitation and abuse against civilians as a war tactic. While their mothers are being killed or raped, thousands of Ukrainian children are being held in filtration camps, deported to Russia and subjected to forceful adoptions. We call upon the international community to do everything possible and more to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian victims of the aggression. In spite of that grim background, the launch by Ukraine of an updated national women and peace and security action plan to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in every aspect of society deserves recognition. Unfortunately, every single day, thousands of women across the globe must fight for their fundamental human rights.”

4. “Estonia aligns itself with the statement to be made on behalf of the European Union, and I would like to add a few remarks in my national capacity. Estonia welcomes the Security Council’s debate on women and peace and security and remains fully committed to standing firm on the advancement of women’s rights, security and leadership. On the eve of International Women’s Day, I am afraid we must admit that despite some progress, we are still unable to always protect women’s rights in violent conflict, as we are not yet able to decisively advance equality across the globe. For more than one year, Ukrainians have been enduring unthinkable horrors in the Russian war of aggression. Forty per cent of the Ukrainian population, mostly women and children, are in need of urgent humanitarian aid.”
