  1. “Let me conclude by clearly stating the position of my country — making commitments just sets the direction of travel and imagines our societies few years or even few decades ahead. Stepping up for those commitments is already transforming our societies. Stepping back from those commitments, as, regrettably, we have witnessed in many areas of the globe, is equivalent to ruining individual lives and societies with bullets.”

  2. “Ensuring such participation should not be seen as something that comes after peace has been achieved, but should rather be one of the instruments to contain armed groups that are plaguing regions. Turning now to our national implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, I would like to point out that this year, we are taking stock of our mid-term progress on the implementation of our national action plan on women and peace and security for the period 2020–2025. We call upon all relevant actors to ensure that the values of the women and peace and security agenda are reflected in their national measures to ensure women’s inclusion and empowerment and that in peacebuilding settings, they form a substantial part of their national peacebuilding priorities.”

  3. “Today Bulgaria reconfirms its commitment to protect, respect and promote the human rights of all women and girls and calls upon the international community to mobilize further efforts in that regard and to create a safe framework where women will be able to make their voices heard and hold professional and leadership positions in all spheres of social life, without fear of reprisals or visible or invisible barriers. The Security Council has a special role in that regard, because of its say over the way in which peacekeeping operations are mandated and conducted. The full, equal and meaningful participation of women and girls in all spheres of life is crucial if we are to have peaceful, functional and prosperous societies.”

  4. “Whether those are terrorist groups motivated by religious extremism, mercenaries serving the Russian war machine against Ukraine or ill-trained conscripts, armed groups are usually male and often involved in sexual and gender- based violence against women and girls. Most recently, we have seen the victimization of women as a result of the ongoing illegal, unprovoked and unjustified aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which has also led to millions of refugees, mostly women and children. Similar tragedies have played out in Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan and Myanmar, just to name a few. Women’s exclusion from decision-making processes and positions of authority contributes to their victimization. There are two key words — inclusion and empowerment, including economic empowerment and access to education.”

  5. “Bulgaria aligns itself with the statements made on behalf of the European Union, the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security and the Group of Friends of the Responsibility to Protect. I would also like to share some views in my national capacity. At the outset, let me thank Gabon for organizing today’s open debate on such a relevant topic. Furthermore, I would like to express appreciation for the Secretary-General’s most recent report on women and peace and security (S/2022/740), its pertinent recommendations and its sobering warning that the world is experiencing a reversal of generational gains in women’s rights and that takes us far away from building stable and prosperous societies. We see those warnings manifested most clearly in regions plagued by armed groups.”
