“The Role of Women in Establishing Peace”.The online forum was held to raise awareness on the protection of women’s rights, to review the status of women’s participation in the peace process, to understand and recognize the impact of women and the cooperation between women organizations in achieving sustainable peace.The five actors related to women’s rights (NGOs and experts), Mrs. Minerva Kadar Afonso, Dr. Aicha Bacha, Mrs. Céline Marie Yolande Via, Mr. Dadastone Ipoma and Mrs. Grace Mele, gave a speech about women’s right and their participation in the peace process with a focus on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325.
Background Information
Defending women’s rights and encouraging their participation in society can only be a positive impulse to make the world a better place. As an agent of change, every woman has the power to influence her immediate environment and change the global order to achieve more equal and peaceful societies.
However, women’s rights are too often overlooked and their level of participation in decision-making positions still needs to be improved.
Through this forum, the speakers talked about the status of women’s rights in different countries, their role in the peace process and the necessity to increase the representation of women at all levels of decision-making to ensure greater participation of women in actions taken to resolve conflicts and to achieve a peaceful world as mentioned in UN Security Council Resolution 1325.
