NEW YORK – Liberia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, His Excellency Ambassador Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., says the Government of Liberia remains resolute in its ownership and leadership of the security and welfare of the State and its people; including women.

Addressing the United Nations Security Council High-level Open Debate on “Women, Peace and Security: sexual violence in conflict” on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, Ambassador Kemayah said the Government through its new development framework, the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD), aims to sustain peace and promote social cohesion, through increased participation of women in every field; an action that will help to address the root causes of sexual violence.
