Mr. President,

We warmly welcome the presentation by the delegation of Peru.

  1. Consider further legislative and policy measures and their effective implementation for realisation of gender equality and combatting gender-based violence, including by ensuring pay parity and equal access to safe reproductive health services;

  2. Consider strengthening efforts to ensure promotion and protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, including children with disabilities; and,

  3. Continue with the initiatives aimed at ensuring access to quality education for all children.

Thank you, Mr. President.
