Ahead of the International Women’s Day, Special Envoy @HuangXia16 together with the @_AfricanUnion @unwomenafrica @MONUSCO GIZ, Norway & regional centers of excellence rallied stakeholders to reflect on resource constraints & protection issues affecting Women, Peace & Security

As #Sudan tragically enters its 4th year of war, 123 partners are urgently seeking support for Sudanese refugees & local communities in 7 countries. With millions of our sisters & brother enduring so much suffering, solidarity is desperately needed. unhcr.org/news/briefing-…

There's wholesomeness in understanding engagement avenues that support building safer communities. Storytelling applies in presentation of narratives on gender, leadership, & community resilience - a show of how digital platforms can drive social change & challenge stereotypes.

Canada's UN envoy: conflicts will never be resolved without the "full & equal & active participation of women" @UNPeacebuilding

We're happy to be part of thought leadership on women's contribution to #PeaceSecurity in Africa. As we commemorate the #UNSCR135, we are leading a panel in Namibia at the High-Level Political Dialogue and Strategic Agenda Setting on 25 Years. #WomenLeadPeaceFollows

We begin Day 2 at #IGADYouth4Peace! Panel 5: Women’s Leadership in Peacebuilding Moderated by @WairimuManyara the discussion spotlighted women’s pivotal role in peace efforts and urgent protection needs: 🇸🇸 Eva Christo : From grassroots to high-level talks, women in South Sudan bridge divides & ensure peace reflects community needs. 🇸🇩 Doaa Taha: Sudanese women lead gender-inclusive conflict resolution despite systemic exclusion. 🇺🇬 Stella Mystic: Creative, community-centered approaches make peacekeeping more effective. Idil Absiye : 650M women live within 50km of conflict; sexual assault cases doubled from 2023–24 — urgent protection & prevention needed.

How do we continue to prioritize women voices especially for peace in #Sudan?

Standing in solidarity with Sudanese Women means joining their plea for peace, providing humanitarian assistance and providing platforms for them to amplify their voices on the call for ceasefire. #Sudan #WomenPeaceSecurty

"The #EmpoweringEveryBadge project is a bold step toward building a security sector that is not only inclusive but also more effective. Through this collaboration, we aim to advance gender equality in law enforcement." Idil Absiye, WPS Policy Specialist, UN Women ESARO

This initiative is not about increasing numbers; but fundamentally transforming the way we approach security. By integrating gender perspectives into criminal justice & counter-crime responses, we address harmful stereotypes & enhance the operational capabilities of our forces.
