UN chief warns number of women living near deadly conflicts highest in decades
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Monday that women around the world are facing "troubling trends" of violence, conflict and exclusion, with the number of women living near deadly conflicts reaching the highest level in decades.
"Last year, 676 million women lived within 50 kilometers of deadly conflict events, the highest number in decades," Guterres said in remarks to the UN Security Council at the annual open debate on Women, Peace and Security.
