  2. “These are aimed at assisting them in efforts to foster a gender-sensitive institutional culture that addresses discrimination, harassment and abuse. Furthermore, we have provided recommendations on measures that could be used to help prevent gender-based Violence in the families of armed force personnel. In Central Asia, the OSCE has provided long- term support to border management and services in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, including on building skills and knowledge on how to gender mainstream the work of border services. A training workshop on gender aspects of border management was conducted jointly for Turkmen and Afghan law enforcement officers.”

  3. “By making available data on the prevalence and patters of Violence against women, the survey helps to highlight the need to respond to and prevent violence. That in turn can help States to strengthen measures to combat violence against women. In December, the OCSE will launch a toolkit on the inclusion of women in effective peace processes that will complement the efforts of the United Nations and other organizations to address the unacceptably low level of women's participation in decision-making at peace tables. The OSCE also offers concrete tailored capacity-building for security service actors in our participating States. The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights has supported the armed forces of Ukraine in developing a set of recommendations to military commanders.”

  4. “In 2020, the OSCE will offer a series of events to provide platforms to Government and civil society representatives and our international partner organizations to discuss the findings and recommendations of our study and develop ways forward to implement the women and peace and security agenda. Regional organizations are well suited to supporting the national-level implementation of the women and peace and security agenda in coordinating, setting agendas and carrying out initiatives that support the work at the national level. I would like to say a few brief words on OSCE initiatives that provide data, tools and capacity-building in this field. The OSCE-led survey on the well-being and safety of women in South-East and Eastern Europe illustrates how regional organizations can assist in promoting the women and peace and security agenda.”

  5. “It is essential that the women and peace and security action plans recognize that addressing deeper, underlying root causes of conflict, such as prevailing structural inequality, which particularly affects women and girls, is crucial to any conflict prevention effort. The lack of budgeted funding continues to pose a major challenge to the implementation of national action plans. Our assessment shows that over 80 per cent of the current national action plans make no or only minimal reference as to how the implementation of action plans will be funded.”

  6. “Following a global trend, the number of national action plans in the OSCE region has continued to grow steadily during the past five years. Over 60 per cent of OSCE participating States now have a national action plan. These plans continue to identify women's participation in peace and security as a main priority. We see a trend whereby recently developed national action plans are responding to the recommendations made in Preventing Conflict, Transforming Justice and Securing the Peace: A Global Study on the Implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), which called for more attention to be paid to conflict prevention.”

  7. “Ms. Darisuren: I am glad to be here today to talk to the Council about the preparations of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OCSE) for the approaching twentieth anniversary of the women and peace and security agenda. As the world's largest regional security organization, with a long track record on conflict prevention and management, we in the OSCE see the women and peace and security agenda as a fundamental element in our conflict toolbox. The OSCE study on the progress made in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda in the OSCE region will be published early next year. I would like to highlight some of its findings. Let me start with the creation of national action plans in our region.”

  8. “The most recent country to adopt such a plan was Albania, where the OSCE was able to closely support its preparation process. However, national action plans must also be effectively implemented. In our future activities we will be paying particular attention to the gaps in, and challenges for, the implementation of the action plans. We will continue our efforts to empower women to fully participate in political and economic fields, as well as in the security sector.”

  9. “For example, the Office supported the Equal Opportunities Caucus of the Ukrainian Parliament in organizing the first-ever Ukrainian Women's Congress, in 2017. There are numerous examples of OSCE field operations in supporting women's political participation at the local and national levels in electoral and security sector reforms. In the area of economic empowerment, the OSCE is particularly engaged in the enhancement of women's entrepreneurship and in creating equal economic opportunities. We in the OSCE have supported Governments and civil society in 25 participating States to develop results-oriented national action plans to implement resolution 1325 (2000). Currently, almost 60 per cent of the 57 States participating in the OSCE have adopted a national action plan.”

  10. “OSCE reports about those activities support women's voices to be heard at the higher levels of decision-making, where women remain underrepresented. The prevention of violent conflicts is far cheaper than responding to conflicts after they have broken out. Women's inclusion in political, economic and social life is a key factor influencing society's propensity for conflict. Yet women continue to be underrepresented in governing structures, and particularly in decision-making positions. At the moment, approximately 28 per cent of members of the national parliaments in the OSCE region are women. The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights facilitates and supports institutional change, knowledge-sharing and capacity-building to advance women's representation and influence in political and public life.”

  11. “The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine is present on the ground in eastern Ukraine with a particular mandate to facilitate dialogue in order to reduce tensions on the ground. That includes facilitating so-called windows of silence for critical infrastructure repairs to enable the flow of water and electricity to the civilian population. In the communities in eastern Ukraine that are heavily impacted by violence, the OSCE monitors observe the resilience and community spirit of the many women active in village councils, in civil society, as teachers, and in the distribution of humanitarian aid on a daily basis. Women's involvement is crucial when it comes to preventing further escalation of tensions, bringing peace and keeping it.”

  12. “A failure to include them is a missed opportunity to use every possible factor to achieve peace. However, in the OSCE area, women's meaningful participation in peace processes remains a problem. There is underrepresentation of women within negotiating parties, as well as in OSCE mediation teams. To overcome that challenge, the OSCE Mediation Support Team and the Gender Section are developing a toolkit on the inclusion of women in peace processes. The toolkit will identify how women are engaged in peace work in the contexts where the Organization supports formal negotiation or dialogue-facilitation processes. It will outline practical steps and measures to increase women's inclusion and to bridge the gap between women's peacebuilding efforts and the official negotiation formats.”

  13. “Ms. Darisuren: I am honoured to be here today representing the Secretary-General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The women and peace and security agenda's integrated approach resonates strongly with the OSCE's concept of comprehensive security. The OSCE recognizes that the politico-military, the economic and environmental, and the human dimensions of security are tightly intertwined. We particularly welcome that this year's open debate puts strong emphasis on women's political and economic empowerment and on women's meaningful participation in all aspects of preventing and resolving conflicts and building peaceful societies. By now the evidence is indisputable that the meaningful engagement of women in peace processes leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes.”

  14. “We have therefore introduced the executive gender- coaching programme for the Secretary General and secretariat Directors so as to provide them with the necessary skills and tools to mainstream gender into their work. Within our organizations, we recognize that more efforts are needed to implement a sustained and systematic approach aimed at improving women's participation in peace processes and at preventing and effectively responding to conflict. The OSCE will continue building stronger synergies and linkages and participating in key initiatives, such as the Woman, Peace and Security National Focal Points Network and the regional acceleration initiative. We look forward to developing even closer partnerships with the United Nations and other organizations.”

  15. “In April this year, we organized a high-level mediation retreat with heads of mission and special representatives. Building on that meeting, OSCE is preparing an analysis of our OSCE-led mediation processes and practical guidance. OSCE political-military bodies, such as the Forum for Security Cooperation and the Security Committee, increasingly incorporate gender perspectives in their agendas, and the High-level Planning Group has mainstreamed gender in its work plans. The OSCE has been at the forefront in ensuring that a gender perspective is included in its efforts to prevent violent extremism and radicalization, which may lead to terrorism. The new Leaders against Intolerance and Violent Extremism project specifically includes women community leaders and young women and men. Strong leadership is essential if we are to achieve progress.”

  16. “Just last week, the OSCE secretariat conducted the second National Action Plan Academy for five countries, and there are several more in the pipeline. We welcome the development and implementation of localized action plans at the subnational level in Ukraine. We will be supporting that initiative, which presents a unique opportunity and potentially good practice. OSCE field operations, institutions and our secretariat work to build women's leadership at the national and local levels, through mentoring and supporting their networks and capacity development. For example, the Border Management Staff College in Dushanbe offers specialized training for women border guards. We continue to work on gender-inclusive mediation processes.”

  17. “For example, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine makes sure, in its monitoring work, that the experiences of women and men from the conflict-affected populations are heard and are making their way into the daily public reports. We need to further invest in improving the gender balance among our monitors in order to ensure mixed patrols that reach out more effectively to the local population. Allow me to share with the Council some examples of progress achieved over the past year by the OSCE. A total of31 countries members of OSCE have adopted national action plans on resolution 1325 (2000), an increase of three since last year. OSCE continues to build the capacity of participating States to develop and implement their national action plans, by exchanging experiences and by providing targeted support at the national level.”

  18. “The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is active in all phases ofconflict, from prevention to conflict resolution, post-conflict rehabilitation and peacebuilding. The inclusion of a gender perspective is essential in all those phases. The OSCE approach aligns closely with the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We support our participating States in fulfilling their gender-equality commitments and in enhancing comprehensive security. We recognize that formal political processes provide, unfortunately, little access and space for women. There is a clear need to increase the meaningful inclusion of women in all phases of the conflict cycle, so that we give more recognition to the central contribution of women, in particular at the grassroots level.”

  19. “Ms. Darisuren: It is a great honour for me to be here representing the Secretary General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). I commend the focus of this year's debate on moving the women and peace and security agenda towards a systematic implementation leading to tangible results. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is the largest regional security organization under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. With our comprehensive approach to security, the women and peace and security agenda is a common thread throughout all our work, not only in the political and military fields, but also in economic and environmental issues, and in the promotion of human rights and democratic institutions.”
