UN CHIEF PROMOTES EDUCATION, GENDER EMPOWERMENT DURING FINAL DAY OF
MOZAMBIQUE VISITNew York, May 21 2013 12:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today commended the Government and people of Mozambique for
steady progress in political development, but urged greater efforts to
overcome human rights challenges, including discrimination and
violence against women, through education and awareness-raising.

At a visit to the Samsão Muthemba secondary school, Mr. Ban
highlighted his UNiTE to end violence against women and girls campaign
to raise public knowledge and increase political will and resources
for preventing and ending all forms of gender-based violence.

"Violence against women and girls is a global pandemic," Mr. Ban said.
"We must change attitudes and behaviour."

Praising the role of education in the southern African country where
half of all women are illiterate, Mr. Ban today announced that he had
appointed President Armando Guebuza to the role of Education Champion.

"Educating girls is essential to giving them better opportunities in
life," Mr. Ban said, noting that educated girls are less likely to
marry young, get pregnant before they are ready, and more likely to
earn an income and success as mothers.

Last month, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human
rights, Magdalena Sepúlveda, expressed concern about women, children
and youth, older persons and persons with disabilities in the country.

She added that despite "enormous progress" to establish peace and
stability, Mozambique continues to be one of the poorest countries in
the world, ranking 185 out of 187 according to the 2013 UNDP Human
Development Report.

Earlier today, Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6830">addressed the
newly appointed first members of the National Human Rights Commission
telling them that the country must "also make a link between rights,
poverty and inequality." In the speech, he called human rights "the
bedrock of development" and pledged the UN's continued support for
good governance, justice, and anticorruption efforts.

He said he had spoken last night with representatives of the
extractive industries and urged that the country's natural wealth be
managed "wisely and transparently for the benefit of all."

"Newfound resources create new opportunities but general heightened
expectations. The key is to maximize the opportunities before
Mozambique and minimize the social and economic risks," Mr. Ban told
journalists.

<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2824">Speaking
alongside the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Oldemiro Baloi, in Maputo,
Mr. Ban said Mozambique is an "important success story for the global
community" of a country that can recover from conflict.

"With the peace treaty in 1992 you have been steadily moving toward
greater democracy, economic and social development and political
stability," he added.

Mozambique's post-independence 16-year civil war between the
Government, led by the Liberation Front of Mozambique (FRELIMO) party,
and the Mozambican National Resistance (RENAMO) ended in October 1992
with the signing of the General Peace Agreement.

More recently, Mozambique has been "instrumental" as a witness and
guarantor to the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and in the Great Lakes region.

In support of the landmark peace agreement, Mr. Ban, joined by World
Bank President Jim Yong Kim, will travel next to the DRC, Rwanda and
Uganda. Mr. Ban is due to meet on 26 May in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
with the 11 signatories to the peace framework and the four guarantors
who include Mr. Ban and Mr. Guebuza.

"All parties to the Framework need to comply with their commitments to
bring peace to this troubled region so we in turn can bring the
benefits of development to war-weary people," Mr. Ban stressed, adding
that the commitment of all parties is especially urgent now given the
latest clashes in eastern DRC near Goma with the M23 rebels.May 21
