Across the @OSCE region and beyond, women are mediating disputes, shaping peace processes and driving post-conflict recovery. This #IWD2026, at a time of rising tensions and conflict, we restate that women's leadership is not optional, it is essential.

Women belong in... 👉 SECURITY. Protecting borders. Removing explosive threats. Making decisions that benefit us all. 💪 Without women, there is no security. And the OSCE is here to support. #IWD2026

I am following the geopolitical escalation in the Middle East with grave concern and denounce the recent attacks on multiple OSCE participating States. I express full solidarity with all those participating States that were targeted and affected.

Ahead of #IWD2026, I convened high-level discussions on digital tools and women's participation in peace and security. Technology can open doors – or close them. How we shape digital innovation will determine which.

Ardit once chose the short path. Today, he is choosing education, a profession and a future he is building himself. Through #SkaShkurt, @OSCEinAlbania supports young people in choosing opportunity over crime, so we can all have a more secure future.
