This resolution affirms the United States Government's leadership and commitment to preventing and responding to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and supporting all survivors. It recognizes that CRSV, which includes acts like rape and sexual slavery, is a war crime and crime against humanity, noting its significant increase and underreporting, particularly affecting women and girls. The resolution calls on the U.S. to ensure that mechanisms for holding perpetrators accountable are integrated into peacebuilding resolutions and processes. It further urges the U.S. to strengthen justice for all CRSV survivors and emphasizes the critical role of women's participation in peace processes, aligning with existing legislation. The House expresses its solidarity with survivors and those working to provide them with care and support.
