“As concrete examples, I would cite the commitment of the Peacebuilding Commission in the Great Lakes region, which has strengthened the role of women in peacebuilding efforts in the region, and the work of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, which has taken specific action to promote the economic empowerment of women ex-combatants. Finally, support from peace missions should ensure that post-conflict peacebuilding processes include local women in all their diversity in relief and recovery processes. Women must be part of the solutions in their societies and contribute to public life, politics and decision-making at all levels. That is why dismantling barriers that also impede women’s enjoyment of their economic rights and hinder their access to resources is more urgent than ever.”

“In addition to Member States, United Nations bodies, regional organizations, civil society organizations and private organizations participate in the Compact. The Compact seeks to accelerate the implementation of the women and peace and security and humanitarian agenda by developing actions in five thematic areas, including women’s economic security and their access to resources and other essential services. Mexico also recognizes the post-conflict recovery initiatives and programmes supported by the United Nations to promote women’s economic empowerment and their participation in post-conflict economic recovery.”

“Secondly, there could be support for women peacebuilders from the most disadvantaged groups, such as women with disabilities, women refugees, young women, female heads of households and women members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community. Thirdly, access to digital technologies of local women’s organizations could be facilitated, as such technologies today can also contribute to the prevention of violence and the operation of early warning systems. Fourthly, women’s community cooperatives or women-led businesses in debates on economic recovery and post-conflict reconstruction could be promoted. In 2021, the Generation Equality Forum, launched the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action, of which Mexico was a driving force.”

“We have also welcomed journalists, activists, environmental activists, the President of the Afghan Access to Information Institute and other illustrious women from Afghan civil society. With regard to public-private partnerships for the creation of conditions that enable sustainable peace and security, we must first and foremost stress the importance of private-sector actions focused on gender, intersectionality and human rights. Some actions that we propose include the following. First, investments could be made in existing financial mechanisms to support women’s organizations and human rights defenders, who contribute to the climate of stability in their communities.”

“It is worrisome to see the growing backlash in various parts of the world against women’s human rights and such fundamental freedoms as their physical and bodily autonomy. The case of Afghanistan is one example. In the Afghanistan crisis, Mexico played an active role in its response to the refugee situation within the framework of its long-standing tradition of solidarity and support for people in need of humanitarian assistance, including women and girls, who were given priority. In particular, Mexico welcomed a group of five young Afghan women, who were part of the Afghan Dreamers team, and several members of their families. This group is known internationally for creating ventilators from used car parts for patients with coronavirus disease. They now have scholarships to pursue their studies.”

“Accordingly, all conflict-prevention, peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts in the global context of recovery from the pandemic must ensure a gender focus in order to guarantee economic inclusion, reduce the gap and segregation in the labour market, and create decent jobs with access to comprehensive social protection systems, including sexual and reproductive health services, which are imperative for building sustainable peace. In that regard, we must listen to the voices of women in all their diversity, especially women belonging to traditionally excluded and marginalized groups. They must be included, without discrimination of any kind, in peace and decision-making processes.”

“One of the structural barriers to gender equality at the global level are socioeconomic inequalities, entrenched poverty and the many intersectional forms of discrimination and violence, which limit women’s access to financial resources, land use and holding and other productive assets. Those gaps, which are a profound reflection of patriarchal systems, misogyny and the unequal distribution of power in the world, also contribute to conflict and are more acute in contexts of fragility. In particular, the coronavirus disease has disproportionately affected women as a result of the loss of jobs and, consequently, of income, in addition to an overwhelming level of unpaid care work that is historically and traditionally relegated to women and girls.”

“I also reiterate the priority that my country accords to addressing the women and peace and security agenda with a comprehensive approach, underlining its foundation in the indivisibility and universality of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of women and girls in all their diversity, in line with resolution 1325 (2000) and our obligations enshrined in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and other international instruments. Conflict-prevention, peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts to achieve sustainable development everywhere require ensuring the economic empowerment of all women and girls, as they are key agents of change in achieving economic growth, rebuilding the social fabric and contributing to the stability of societies.”

“We are aware of the vulnerable situation of those who have been displaced from their homes and have been forced to seek refuge in neighbouring countries, and we are concerned about the risks they run of becoming victims of sexual and gender-based violence. We urge that all political dialogue ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of Ukrainian women in decision-making.”

“Ms. Delgado Peralta (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I warmly welcome Ms. Mariam Almheiri, Minister for Climate Change and Environment of the United Arab Emirates, and we thank her delegation for convening this debate, which coincides with the commemoration of International Women’s Day.

At the outset, Mexico expresses its solidarity with all the women and girls in Ukraine, whose lives have been drastically impacted in recent weeks by the invasion by Russia.”
