Countering violence against women

These issues are important because they are more pervasive than we think. We have seen
from the #metoo campaign, for example, that this is closer to home than we should like.
This is not just some third world problem. It’s a global problem and we need to be
cognisant of it, aware of it, and we need to deal with it whenever and wherever we can.
Otherwise, we’re failing ourselves as an institution, we’re failing ourselves as
member states, and we’re failing ourselves as persons.
One of the biggest problems is actually ignorance. We simply need to be pathfinders for the others
and due to the expectations in our societies, we need to spread these messages all around
the globe.
We, of course, invest a lot of our time and our effort in education and training - both
sides - to educate our people, our troops, when they are going to the theatre and to
include these topics into defence capacity building and projecting stability.
NATO has a key role in setting the right standards of behaviour for military organisations during
their operations. Depending on whether it’s an internal conflict or an inter-state conflict,
different UN or other groupings come in. We then as a force need to work with them in
order to make sure that anything that we do and every influence we have upon what other
people do, produces a better result and ensures there is less violence directed towards women.
What I would like to do is deliver a message to all the young women in the world who are
affected by these kinds of threats. We will work to do everything we can together with
the international community, the United Nations, the whole system of international law, to
ensure that in your lifetime these issues are confronted, and that we do everything
that we can to solve them. It’s an absolute top priority for NATO as an international
institution and we can link arms with others across the world to make a difference, and
we will try to do so.
