Prime Minister Imran Khan has joined other world leaders to align with the UN Secretary-General’s “Circle of Leadership” on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse in United Nations peace operations.
According to the UN, the Pakistani leader, who was voted to power this summer, is the 70th incumbent or former heads of state and government to do so
The UN Circle of Leadership represents a visible and formidable symbol of members’ commitment to end impunity, strengthen measures to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse, respond rapidly and decisively to credible reports of such acts. The Circle is also committed to meeting the needs of victims quickly and appropriately and provides the global high-level political support necessary for success.
The Circle was formally established by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the High-level Meeting on the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in September 2017.
World leaders reaffirmed their continued personal commitment on September 27 to support efforts by the United Nations to combat sexual exploitation and abuse across the organization.
