  1. “That is why my country, after having demonstrated leadership on that issue during its term on the Security Council, including as a co-Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, submitted for the first time its candidacy to become a member of the Human Rights Council, in which we are committed to continuing to promote the women and peace and security agenda and all the necessary actions for achieving its full implementation.”

  2. “It is a priority for the Dominican Republic to contribute to building a peace architecture that addresses the issues I have mentioned, including the impact of non-conventional threats such as climate change and of new technologies in the digital era. We must also deepen our efforts to enhance positive peacebuilding, reaffirming our demands for women’s rights and for the promotion and protection of the human rights of all people, wherever they are.”

  3. “We need to continue to focus our efforts on enhancing the protection of women and girls against that scourge by equipping peacekeeping missions as best as possible and empowering the women themselves, as well as their communities, to develop mechanisms that can help, with the support of States, to eliminate once and for all that threat to women’s integrity and dignity and put an end to impunity for the perpetrators. Violations of women’s rights, although deeply rooted in the widespread inequality and discrimination faced by women, are often swept under the rug. We cannot ignore the interlinkage in that regard with the commitments made under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and its general recommendation No. 30.”

  4. “It can be achieved by demonstrating political will, breaking down the persistent structural and practical barriers and opening the way for women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in peace and security processes. Civil society and women human rights defenders, as well as their civic space, must be protected by States and supported by the Council and the United Nations so that they can carry out their work without fear of reprisals. It is a matter of deep regret for the Dominican Republic that women and girls are the main victims of conflict and sexual violence — an unacceptable harm that we must work tirelessly to address.”

  5. “Ms. Jorge Mera (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of the Dominican Republic, I would like to commend Mozambique for convening today’s important and timely open debate, and I would also like to thank the women who briefed the Security Council today. Since its adoption in 2000, resolution 1325 (2000) has enabled important progressive changes in our collective approach to addressing the important issue that brings us together today. The implementation of the women and peace and security agenda continues to be our best opportunity to strengthen women’s presence in assuming leading and central roles in the areas of conflict prevention and resolution and peacekeeping. Accelerating the implementation of the agenda is our shared responsibility.”
