  1. “The extended school hours and guaranteed transportation alleviate the additional burden associated with child care for mothers who want to deploy and fathers in sole charge of households. That and other initiatives can be found in the full text of this statement and demonstrate Uruguay’s commitment to the effective implementation of concrete measures for advancing gender equality and the active participation of women in all aspects related to the women and peace and security agenda. Lastly, we join the President in paying tribute to Bertha Lutz, whose participation at the San Francisco Conference paved the way for action for the participation of women in all United Nations activities, including those related to peace and security.”

  2. “In putting that commitment into practice — and in keeping with the theme of today’s debate — Uruguay’s armed forces, with the support of the Elsie Initiative Fund, are implementing a programme that incorporates innovative practices. They are aimed at overcoming obstacles related to deployment criteria, family constraints affecting women’s capacity for deployment, the negative perception of others’ past experiences in peacekeeping operations and gender roles, including the underrepresentation of women in operational roles. Given the limited time we have, I will mention only one such innovative practice, whereby we ensure access to full-time education and transportation to and from school for children under 12 whose mothers are deployed, with fathers as their sole caregiver.”

  3. “We are at a critical juncture, where the lack of progress in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) represents an urgent call for us to reflect on how every country, regardless of its size or geopolitical position, can play a significant role in reversing the situation. The promotion of peace and security, with a special focus on the full participation of women, is a collective responsibility that requires joint and coordinated action. Since July 2022 Uruguay has been in the process of implementing its first national action plan on women and peace and security, thereby committing to meeting the highest standards for gender equality in the area of international peace and security.”

  4. “We thank the briefers for their presentations, in particular Ambassador Glivânia Maria de Oliveira, who gave us a message of hope with the example of her participation in the Peace Dialogue Table between the Government of the Republic of Colombia and the Ejército de Liberación Nacional and informed us about Colombia’s leadership as an example of the inclusion of women in peace negotiations. Yet the Secretary- General’s report this year (S/2023/725) on women and peace and security highlights the lack of progress. No substantial progress has been made in increasing funding for women’s organizations. The percentage of women participating in peace negotiations remains stagnant, and threats and violence against women human rights defenders are growing.”

  5. “Ms. Beretta Tassano (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): Uruguay would like to thank your delegation, Mr. President, for convening this open debate and providing Member States with the opportunity to discuss best practices and lessons learned in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and to reflect further on ways of implementing it. Our delegation also aligns itself with the statement delivered on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security and would like to add the following remarks in its national capacity.”
