A/HRC/16/34 E/CN.6/2011/9 of the publication “Addressing conflict-related sexual violence: an analytical inventory of peacekeeping practice”, which compiles examples of prevention and protection strategies, and their translation into scenario-based training materials for predeployment and in-mission training of military peacekeepers; and (c) the continued collaboration of UNIFEM with the Department of Political Affairs on mediation, and the launch of a three-year joint strategy that includes, inter alia, the development and use of practical guidance for mediators on how to deal with conflict-related sexual violence in peace processes. 52. Two main reports on women, peace and security were submitted to the Security Council on the tenth anniversary of its resolution 1325 (2000) (S/2010/173 and S/2010/498), with implications for violence against women in general. UNIFEM supported the technical development of a comprehensive list of indicators to track the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Some of the indicators will be used to strengthen information on prevalence and patterns of sexual violence in conflict, police and judicial follow-up of cases of sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by peacekeepers or humanitarians, as well as cases of violence against women in general, and an index on women’s and girls’ physical security that would take into account perception and other proxy variables. A separate report on women’s participation in peacebuilding contains an action plan identifying concrete initiatives in seven key peacebuilding areas that, at least indirectly, have a bearing on the prevention of and protection from violence against women in conflict and post-conflict settings, including mediation, post-conflict planning and financing, the deployment of international civilian capacity, governance, economic recovery and rule of law, for example, recommendations on immediate legal assistance for women and minimum standards of gender-responsiveness for transitional justice institutions. Forging partnerships and expanding outreach, communications and partnering with the media 53. The outreach of UNIFEM with the mass media, public awareness-raising and social mobilization efforts continue to expand and intensify at all levels, as a key to sustaining and mobilizing commitments and “zero tolerance”, including in the framework of the Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign. 54. A major UNIFEM contribution in that regard was as coordinator, in close collaboration with various other United Nations sister agencies, of the regional components of the Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign. In 2010, the campaigns were launched in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and the Caribbean; while the Latin America campaign continued to progress since its launch in November 2009. The UNIFEM Say NO — UNiTE initiative, which has emerged as a valuable tool for engagement and awareness-raising globally, has documented over 1 million actions over the course of the past year. Among the many innovative and original initiatives at the national and regional levels, was a photo exhibition presented by the African Union, in partnership with UNIFEM, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNICEF, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Isis-Women’s International Cross-Cultural Exchange, during the African Union Summit held in Uganda in July 2010, under the theme “Make peace happen: prevent violence against women and girls”. 16 10-67259
