1. “Finally, I would like to emphasize that it is essential to ensure the safety of Council briefers, in particular women human rights defenders, by preventing and effectively responding to any attempts at reprisals. As the report of the Secretary-General for 2022 indicates (S/2022/740), the world is experiencing a reversal of generational gains in women’s rights. That trend affects women and girls in the growing number of conflict situations in Ukraine and beyond. For that reason it is now more important than ever to translate our commitment into action.”

2. “As a signatory of the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action, and guided by its new humanitarian strategy, Luxembourg pays particular attention to gender issues and contributes to the efforts of our humanitarian partners to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence, including in forgotten and underfunded crises. In line with its feminist foreign policy, Luxembourg continues to implement its national action plan on women and peace and security through which it is committed to promoting the situation and representation of women in civilian missions. We welcome the strengthening in 2022 of the language on women and peace and security in the resolutions on the United Nations missions in Afghanistan and Yemen, and we encourage members to continue to integrate these concerns into the Council’s decisions.”

3. “Despite that progress, women and girls continue to face multiple challenges with respect to their participation in decision-making processes and in conflict-prevention and conflict-resolution efforts. This is especially true for LGBTIQ+ persons as well as women with disabilities. People, especially women, including migrant women, must be politically and economically empowered and equally represented at all levels of decision-making. That is why we continue to fund initiatives to promote the empowerment and participation of women and girls, including through our official development assistance.”

4. “Ms. Bofferding (Luxembourg) (spoke in French): I thank the Mozambican presidency of the Security Council for organizing today’s open debate. Luxembourg fully aligns itself to the statements to be made on behalf of the European Union in its capacity as observer and of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. Since the Security Council adopted resolution 1325 (2000), progress has been made towards the goal of the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in peace processes. The Council has played a crucial role in advancing the rights of women and girls, including by recognizing acts of sexual and gender-based violence as a tactic of war. However, as we approach the twenty- fifth anniversary of the adoption of the resolution, it is important to recognize that much remains to be done.”
