Women’s Leadership: Face of resilience, force for peace – UN Women Briefing | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Remarks by Ms. Sima Sami Bahous, Executive Director of UN-Women, on the Women and peace and security.

UN Women Executive Director, Sima Sami Bahous, said, “The record of the last twenty-five years is mixed: bold, admirable commitments have been followed too often by weak implementation and chronic under-investment.”

She also said, “Some conclude that the rise and normalization of misogyny currently poisoning our politics and fueling conflict is unstoppable. It is not. Those who oppose equality do not own the future, we do.”

She stated, “Whether mediating, brokering access to services, driving reconstruction and more, women’s leadership is the face of resilience – a force for peace.”

She warned, “Current financing trends are endangering the viability and safety of women-led organizations in conflict-affected countries. We believe there is no alternative but to change course and invest significantly in women’s organizations on the front lines of conflict.”

Women: Leaders of Peace for all – UN Chief | United Nations

Remarks by Mr. AntĂłnio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, on the Women and peace and security.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, “Women are leaders of peace for all. The world does not need more reminders of that truth – it needs more results that reflect it.”

Addressing the Security Council on Women, Peace and Security, Guterres said, “Too often, we gather in rooms like this one – full of conviction and commitment – only to fall short when it comes to real change in the lives of women and girls caught in conflict. We speak of inclusion, yet far too frequently women remain absent from negotiating tables. We speak of protection, yet sexual violence persists with impunity. We speak of leadership, yet women peacebuilders are underfunded, under threat, and under-recognized. And we all lose.”

He reported, “Last year, 676 million women lived within 50 kilometers of deadly conflict events – the highest number in decades. Sexual violence surged, with documented incidents against girls rising by 35 percent. In some places – alarmingly – girls accounted for nearly half of all victims.”

He also said, “In Afghanistan, the systematic erasure of women and girls from public life is in overdrive – with appalling restrictions in accessing education, employment, healthcare and justice – and surges in sexual violence and maternal mortality. In the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Sudan, Haiti, Myanmar and beyond, women and girls face grave risks and horrific levels of violence. And while women’s organizations remain lifelines for millions in crisis, they are being starved of resources.”
