  1. “I urge us all to translate rhetoric into tangible benefits by developing and implementing comprehensive national action plans, investing in capacity-building and gender-responsive budgeting, enacting legal and policy reforms that include the use of quotas, targets and incentives to increase women’s participation, promoting supportive environments and collecting sex-disaggregated data to track progress. Those measures collectively empower women’s active participation in peace and security processes while safeguarding their well-being, fostering gender equality and advancing the goals of the women and peace and security initiatives.”

  2. “The persistent pushback against women’s rights poses a significant obstacle to achieving gender equality worldwide. Discrimination, cultural norms, and systemic biases continue to limit women’s access to education, economic opportunities and political participation. That resistance to women’s empowerment impedes progress in gender equality, perpetuating inequalities. As we look towards the future, and as we prepare for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) in 2025, we appreciate the broad mainstreaming of resolution 1325 (2000) and the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda.”

  3. “Their contribution to finding solutions for peace and security is essential and must be encouraged. As a practical tool to support that, in the run-up to the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), my country launched the Namibia International Women’s Peace Centre, taking on the challenge of further conceptualizing and operationalizing the concept of women’s influence in peace processes. For the full implementation of the women and peace and security agenda to occur, the full and meaningful participation of women in the political, economic and social aspects of States and societies also needs to occur. The inclusion of women in traditional security institutions alone will not help to ameliorate the gaps of implementation.”

  4. “Namibia’s commitment to the women and peace and security agenda is anchored in our full appreciation that the agenda is applicable in all situations — non-conflict, conflict and post-conflict — as it promotes the equal participation of women and men in peace processes and development efforts at all levels, and further calls for the provision of equal opportunity and the enjoyment of economic and social justice by all. Namibia condemns the ongoing suffering, violence and abuse of women and children in all the conflicts raging across the world. In that connection, we express the need for an end to hostilities in all conflicts and to put stronger emphasis on and further support to peace processes through dialogue and diplomacy. In such processes, women should not be discussed simply as victims but indeed as direct stakeholders.”

  5. “Resolution 1325 (2000) was adopted 23 years ago with a clear vision: to promote women’s participation in efforts and processes aimed at pursuing peace and security, enable the prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls, support the protection of women in conflict and non-conflict situations and situate women not only as victims but also as key actors in the development of gender-responsive peace and security policies and programming.”
