Women are now facing new and more serious threats, Churkin said. "In the areas controlled by Islamic State, Jabhat al-Nusra, Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations, they increasingly often become victims of purposeful violence, forced marriage, sexual slavery and human trafficking," he said.
Violence against women "is used as means of intimidation of the local population, erosion of the established social ties," the diplomat noted.
"Of course, the global community must put an end to this grievous situation.Issues of fight against terrorism and coordinated effort in this sphere should remain among priorities in the activity of the Security Council and other relevant agencies in the UN system", Churkin said.
