2020年6月19日

Sexual violence in conflict is a brutal crime, mainly perpetrated against women and girls, but also affecting men and boys.

冲突中性暴力行为是一种残暴罪行，主要侵害妇女和女童，但男子和男童也受其影响。

It reverberates throughout communities and societies, perpetuating cycles of violence and threatening international peace and security.

这种行为的影响波及整个社区和社会，致使暴力循环永久化，并威胁国际和平与安全。

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages through regions of the world that are affected by armed conflict, survivors confront even greater challenges.

随着COVID-19大流行在世界上受武装冲突影响的地区肆虐，幸存者面临着更大的挑战。

Reporting crimes may be difficult; shelters and clinics may be closed.

举报犯罪可能很困难；庇护所和诊所可能会关闭。

I commend frontline staff who are finding ways to support those affected despite lockdowns and quarantines.

我赞扬前线工作人员，他们不顾封锁和隔离，正在想方设法支持那些受影响的人。

On this International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we stand in solidarity with survivors. We vow to listen to them and act on their experiences and decisions.

值此消除冲突中性暴力行为国际日之际，我们与幸存者团结一致，站在一起。我们誓言，定会倾听幸存者的心声，并按照其经验和决定采取行动。

We must prevent and end these crimes; place survivors at the centre of our response; hold perpetrators accountable; and expand support for all those affected.

我们必须预防和制止这些罪行，将幸存者置于我们应对行动的中心，追究施害者的罪责，并扩大对所有受影响者的支持。
