Human Rights[edit]
At the 36th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Salami emphasized the role of women victims of terrorism as great potential for combating terrorism and violence, calling for international concerted efforts to support and empower them. He stated, “Callous exploration of women as sex slaves by terrorist groups such as Daesh or Boko Haram indicate that women and girls are more vulnerable to psychological and physical harm than men. If they are the most vulnerable to terrorism, then they should have their share of creating peace and security in the world.”[8][9]
