“Without women, there is no peace.” Rev. Alice Nabirye. Women are key influencers in their communities. To build lasting peace, we must:✅Equip women with peacebuilding skills ✅Integrate more women into peace committees ✅Invest in women’s leadership. #WomenLeadPeace @coact1325

“We must confront new frontiers of conflict: climate security, digital threats & violent extremism.” @PaulinaUNWomen. Uganda’s #NAP1325 (2021–2025) embeds these priorities—now let’s: ✅ Fully fund it ✅ Localize implementation ✅ Engage youth for resilience @coact1325

Speaking at the event @PaulinaUNWomen noted that women have been central to #WomenPeaceSecurity —but we must go further: ✅ Make the agenda data-driven ✅ Collect evidence on women’s roles in peace & security ✅ Use data to identify gaps & focus resources #WPSat25 @coact1325
