UN Security Council Tours UNMISS PoC Site in Juba

[...] "We met with women, who described a huge surge in sexual violence against women who live the camp in order to get firewood in order to be able to cook the food for their families. As a mother i cant imagine the choice between either cooking for my kids or risk sexual violence outside the camp, i know i would go and take that risk for my children ..." - Amb. Samantha Power.

The UN Security Council visited a protection of civilians site at the UN base in #Juba this afternoon. The tour provided the delegates, an opportunity to interact with the men and women that have sought shelter with many of them afraid to return home due to insecurity.
