Every year, the Commission brings together Member States and other stakeholders to take stock of the world situation in terms of global drug trafficking; to discuss follow up on the 20th Special Session of the UN General Assembly on countering the world drug problem; and to decide on a coordinated global response. Opening the session, UNODC Executive Director Yury Fedotov emphasized: "In so many ways, illicit drugs and crime and development are bound to each other. If countries are denied the rule of law and justice, development is jeopardized."

Yet, women are still too often confronted with violence - whether in the form of physical, sexual, psychological and economic abuse, and/or other atrocities - in their homes and businesses, on the streets, in conflict zones, in schools, and as highlighted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, "in the minds of people who allow violence to continue." For that reason, International Women\'s Day (IWD) 2013, observed each year by the United Nations on 8 March, was themed "A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women." The 2013 observance drew attention to the premise that a! ll women and girls have a fundamental human right to live free of violence.   More information is available online.
