  good morning everybody.

  angelina jolie and i are delighted to welcome you to the global summit to end sexual violencein conflict.

  we began campaigning, as you probably know, two years ago because we believe the time hascome to end the use of rape in war once and for all, and we believe it can be done.

  we are convinced this is an issue of international peace and security, that is central toconflict prevention, that it is fundamental to the advancement of women’s rightseverywhere, and above all that it is a moral issue for our generation.

  for centuries the rape of women, girls, men and boys has been a feature of conflict andwarfare.

  these crimes have been taking place on a vast scale without many people even being aware ofit.

  and today the facts are beginning to emerge for all to see, thanks to courageous survivors,ngos, journalists, doctors and activists, many of whom are already here today.

  we know how few of these crimes have ever been punished, but because of the impunity, theycontinue today in syria, south sudan and the central african republic, to name just a fewexamples.

  what would it say about britain or any other nation if, knowing all this, we chose not to act, wechose to do nothing?

  as was said of slavery in the 18th century:

  now we know the facts, we cannot turn aside.

  and so this week, we are bringing together here governments, experts, civil society, survivorsand members of the public here at the excel centre, in an unprecedented concentration ofeffort and attention on this issue:

  today, we are hosting young people from across the world to discuss all the issues and to makerecommendations to the ministers, before the ministers get here.

  tomorrow, over 1,000 experts and activists will take part in a multitude of events to addressissues from collecting evidence, to protecting children, to tackling sexual exploitation.

  and on thursday, more than 117 countries, 70 ministers, several heads of state, many faithleaders from across the world will gather here.

  we want this summit to shatter the culture of impunity for sexual violence, to increasesupport for survivors and to start changing the situation on the ground in the most affectedcountries. there are a whole range of practical actions that we want to achieve:

  we will launch an international protocol that sets out how to document and investigatesexual violence, so that those on the ground have the best tools to collect information andevidence to bring perpetrators to justice.

  we will ask countries to strengthen their laws so that there are no safe havens for thoseresponsible for warzone sexual violence, we will also urge all countries to train soldiers andpeace-keepers to prevent and respond to sexual violence more effectively.

  we want countries to commit new funds for tackling sexual violence in conflict-affectedcountries like somalia and the democratic republic of congo, to do more to protect womenand girls in humanitarian emergencies, and to increase their support for human rightsdefenders who campaign for justice and help for survivors.

  and i am pleased to announce this morning that the uk will pledge a further 6 million tosupport survivors of sexual violence in conflict – a further 6 million to help them rebuildtheir lives and rebuild communities.

  but governments alone cannot end sexual violence in conflict, so this is much more than justa meeting of ministers.

  we also want to help achieve a change in attitudes all over the world to these crimes – and youare part of changing those attitudes.

  we want to shift the stigma from survivors onto the perpetrators of these crimes, so that they– not the innocent victims – bear the stigma.

  we want to encourage men to speak out, we want to encourage men to speak out – to agreewith us that it is only a weak or inadequate man who abuses women. it is not, it’s not a sign ofstrength, it is the ultimate weakness and shame.

  we want to draw attention to the hidden survivors of sexual violence, all those who have feltunable to speak out and who have suffered in silence including men and boys.

  we want people around the world to understand the scale of the problem and the urgent needfor action, to recognise the damage it does to international peace and security and to bemobilised and inspired to work within their societies and with us to bear down on this terribleinjustice.

  so each hour for the next 84 hours a british diplomatic post somewhere in the world will beholding an event to mirror what we are doing here in london. this event is round the clock allround the world. and i hope you will help us ensure that over the next three and a half daysthat this summit reaches the whole world.

  we encourage anyone who cares about this issue to visit and to take part with us here: to seethe multitude of exhibitions, performances and films that are on show, and to join in thediscussions here physically and on social media.

  i believe that foreign policy is no longer the sole preserve of governments, that we all need towork together in new ways to tackle global problems and this summit is an example of ourdetermination as the united kingdom to champion that.

  angelina and i want to thank all the organisations, performers, activists and individuals heretoday for your inspiring work and your contributions to this effort, and we will urge all theministers to visit and see the exhibitions.

  there are some people who say that these problems are so vast that our efforts will be in vain,but they fail to understand what governments, international organisations, civil society andpublic opinion can achieve when we all pull in the same direction.

  from the abolition of slavery to the adoption of the arms trade treaty, we have shown that theinternational community can tackle vast global problems in a way that was once consideredto be impossible.

  there is power in numbers and if we unite behind this cause we can create an unstoppablemomentum and consign this vile abuse to history.

  with every injustice in the world, with every injustice in the world, a moment comes when thetide turns, when the pressure of public opinion and political will reaches a tipping point.

  we have a remarkable opportunity over these next few days to build the momentumneeded to tip the world past that point of no return, so that through hard work andcommitment over the coming years we can remove warzone rape from the world’s arsenal ofcruelty.

  we can’t do this overnight, we can’t do it overnight. for the british government, and forangelina and for me personally, this summit is not the end of the road for our work, it is inmany ways just the beginning.

  over the next few years we must go on to show that what we agree here in london can make abig practical difference.

  so in opening the fringe and the exhibitions this morning, we hope you will all work with us andbe part of this historic endeavour.

  i am grateful to you all for being here.

  thank you very much indeed.
