translate English to French: Ms. Gendre (International Committee of the Red Cross) said that, as an organization mandated to protect and assist victims of armed conflict, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had long been concerned with the needs of women who, rather than being passive victims in conflicts, were often responsible for holding families and communities together in the face of adversity.
Mme Gendre (Comité international de la Croix-Rouge) dit que le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge, dont le mandat comprend la protection et l'assistance aux victimes des conflits armés, a toujours prêté une attention particulière aux femmes, qui, loin d'être des victimes passives dans les conflits, sont celles qui maintiennent les familles et les communautés unies face à l'adversité.
