NGOWG MAP Recommendations
Monthly Action Points on Women, Peace & Security for August 2010
NGO Working Group on Women, Peace & Security
In the MAP for August 2010, the NGOWG had recommendations for the Security Council on the current situation in Kyrgyzstan:
The ongoing crisis in Kyrgyzstan should be immediately addressed in order to prevent further widespread violence, including sexual violence, and address the ongoing internal displacement crisis. Human Rights Watch documented several instances of rape, and received credible information about the rapes of at least nine other women. The risk of further sexual violence, particularly for the ethnic Uzbek community, is a critical aspect of the security environment. Many women and children are severely traumatized and need access to medical assistance and psychological counseling. There is a need for an international inquiry into the recent violence, particularly in light of the potential risk the situation poses to international peace and security.
