The world is witnessing the highest level of human suffering since the Second World War. This is why the World Humanitarian Summit convened by the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon comes at a critical time.
“Equitable social and economic development depends on fair legal frameworks and social norms that support the rights of women and children. Discriminatory laws and practices that do not give equal rights to all, and that suppress women’s and children’s rights, have no place in contemporary families, communities, societies and nations.” – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
