StaffUNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) today launched “The State of World Population 2010: From Conflict and Crisis to Renewal: Generations of Change.” The report highlights a decade old UN Security Council commitment which calls on all governments to protect women from rape during conflict, and to utilize the role of women to build peace.
