Thank you.
Japan is of the view that states should make every effort to prevent gender-based violence, including rape.
In order to prevent sexual violence in conflict, Japan has contributed to strengthening judicial systems—mainly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, the Central African Republic, and Iraq—through the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (OSRSG-SVC).
Japan has contributed to the Global Fund for Survivors of Conflicted-Related Sexual Violence and proactively participated in the activities of the Fund as a member of its Board, with the aim of providing needs-based assistance for the survivors of sexual violence.
Prime Minister SUGA of Japan and other G7 leaders expressed their commitment to preventing, responding to, and eliminating all forms of sexual and gender-based violence at the Carbis Bay G7 Summit. Japan will continue to contribute to the eradication and prevention of sexual violence in the international community.
I thank you.
