It has a clear commitment to the WPS agenda by supporting the WPS resolutions and providing support in international operations. France is also a member of the Security Council and aims to be focusing on combating impunity as well as fighting for sexual and reproductive rights and violence against women.
Civil Society
Civil Society organisations have been mentioned briefly in the matrix to have increased support in working with women with access to justice and towards the fight against impunity.
