  women’s rights agenda, as stipulated in the Constitutional Document and the Juba

  Council and, more broadly, gender equality in the Cabinet, the Government and other 
  
  decision-making structures, including peace implementation bodies. The situation of 
  
  women’s protection and security in Darfur, including the continued risks that women 
  
  face in terms of sexual and gender-based violence, are of deep concern. International 
  
  support for the transitional Government to fulfil its national commitments to the 
  
  women and peace and security agenda, as stipulated in the country’s national action 
  
  plan on that theme, will prove essential to enhancing women’s full and meaningful 
  
  participation in all aspects of the transition and strengthening mechanisms for the 
  
  protection of women and girls in conflict-affected areas.
