| Subject: Brought to you by statists: Sexual violence in war: Summit to begin in London Mon Jun 09, 2014 9:38 pm | |
| A four-day summit on sexual violence in war is to begin in London, hosted by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and UN Special Envoy Angelina Jolie.
The event, called the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, is the culmination of a two-year campaign to raise awareness of the issue.
Mr Hague is calling on the 140 nations present to write action against sexual violence into their military training.
Announcing the event in February, he said the issue "should shame all men".
The meeting at the ExCel Centre in London is the largest conference ever on sexual violence in conflict zones.
Representatives from foreign ministries, the military, law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organisations from across the world will be attending.
