The dialogue focused on addressing issues of emerging gang groups, strengthening collaborative strategies for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE), and ensuring stability and growth in the region. Together, we can create safer, more resilient communities for all."

🌍Celebrating 24 years of UNSCR 1325 women, peace andsecurity🌍, we see its transformative impact in:

1. Women’s Participation in Peace Processes: More women involved in peace negotiations has led to agreements that are 35% more likely to last 15 years.

2. Gender-Sensitive Agreements: Women’s input has made peace accords more inclusive, addressing issues like gender-based violence and economic empowerment.

3. Community Resilience: Women’s unique perspectives foster grassroots solutions and trust within communities.

4. Gender-Responsive Policies: UNSCR 1325 inspired National Action Plans, promoting gender-sensitive approaches globally.

5. Protection of Women and Girls: Emphasis on preventing gender-based violence and safeguarding women in conflict zones.

6. Inclusive Security Institutions: Women’s involvement has made peace and security sectors more representative and accountable.

UNSCR 1325 proves that peace processes are more durable and just when women lead.
