On #InternationalDayOfPeace I’m excited to attend the #WPS Focal Point Network at #UNGA78. Very inspiring affirmations of the continued necessity for women’s equal participation in decision-making and peace building.

Analysing armed conflicts from a gender perspective must include consultations with women peace makers and human rights defenders. We tried to include that directly in this #WomemPeaceSecurity course by the WPS group @Kristine_StP and @GenderAssoc

Day 2 of our #womenpeacesecurity training was all about intersectional analysis, programming, & hearing from women human rights defenders from different regions. Thank you to @RashaJarhum of @Peace_Track & Rehana Hashmi, and to the @NobelWomen's #S2S initiative. @GenderAssoc

We need to link #ClimateChange with the #WomenPeaceSecurity Agenda! Looking at the LAC region, Diana Lopez highlights where and how these links come into play in our @GenderAssoc In Brief Nr.4

Hearing from @phumzileunwomen at 20 years of WPS agenda: Delivering on Implementation. "Women are ready. They just need the opportunity to do the work." Greater investment needed to support participation of young people in #WPS and increase in women peacekeepers.

Excited to listen to Alaa Salah of #Sudan at #UNSC Open Debate #WPS requesting Members to "stop the export of arms to my country when there is risk they will be used to perpetrate violations of humanitarian and human rights laws including sexual and GBV against women."

@GenderAssoc is inspired by commitment of #AU Commission for 50% or more countries to adopt NAPs on #UNSCR1325 shared by Special Envoy on Women Peace & Security @AUBinetaDiop at the Open Debate on #WPS

And now, @antonioguterres: #WPS is a top priority of the UN as a whole. Based on commitments, you might think things would be substantially improving - but the commitment in this Council doesn't translate into real change.

#AU Special Envoy on Women Peace & Security @AUBinetaDiop says we need to reinforce the connection between peace & development at Open Debate on #WPS. We agree - more nexus! Local women don't live their lives in silos, as our research on #SustainingPeace has found.
