  1. “Kenya also sees the value of enhanced gender mainstreaming in early warning and response mechanisms, including through local peace committees and local mediation networks. In that regard, we have developed a gender- responsive, community-led, early warning and early response framework. To conclude, I underscore the need to inspire young and future generations and all segments of society with regard to the centrality of the women and peace and security agenda for the peace, prosperity and stability of communities.”

  2. “At the national level, Kenya places great importance on supporting women’s leadership at all decision-making levels, as informed by our Constitution, laws and policies. We are currently implementing and conducting a mid-term review of our second women and peace and security national action plan. We place women’s economic security at the heart of our continued implementation of the women and peace and security agenda. On 2 March, the Government revamped and digitized our Women Enterprise Fund to enhance financial inclusion and accelerate women’s economic empowerment. A contextual approach that utilizes local women’s expertise also remains a priority, especially when it comes to collecting gender- disaggregated data to address challenges and enhance opportunities for our local women and girls.”

  3. “The Council should also invest and utilize local women’s agencies as interlocutors in security sector reform and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration mechanisms. At the regional level, my delegation commends our sister, Ms. Bineta Diop, and her Office for their strong advocacy for the domestic integration and comprehensive implementation of the women and peace and security pillars, encouraging intergenerational dialogues and promoting women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in peace processes in Africa. We encourage enhanced social integration of the pillars and objectives of our region’s women and peace and security frameworks and policies, including the African Union Gender Policy, and their linkages to Agenda 2063 of the African Union and Silencing the Guns in Africa.”

  4. “Considering the impact that armed conflicts and non-inclusive structural and cultural norms have had, particularly in rolling back decades of progress, it is important to enhance women’s livelihoods and operationalize their role in building, negotiating and keeping the peace. At all levels, we need to make women’s work, experiences and accomplishments visible, amplify their voices and invest in their competencies. At the international level, the Security Council can play an important role in implementing the existing women and peace and security normative framework by supporting and investing in regional and local efforts, all of which are reflected in the shared commitments initiative that Kenya was honoured to co-found, alongside Mexico and Ireland.”

  5. “At the same time, women’s rights continue to be violated in many parts of the world, while the financing of women’s organizations in conflict- affected countries remains minimal. And yet women continue to work for peace despite the threats of human trafficking and sexual and gender-based violence and in the face of the brutality of conflict itself. Indeed, women’s preventive role and their leadership in the whole peace continuum — as first responders, peacekeepers, peacebuilders, mediators, peace signatories, activists, advocates and human rights defenders — have been clearly demonstrated.”

  6. “Kenya congratulates Mozambique on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March. The occasion of International Women’s Day is an important reminder that gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential to international peace and security. I thank all the briefers for their insights and recommendations. As we take stock of where we are with the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, we must look ahead to where we need to be in anticipation of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000), which was spearheaded by Namibia in October 2000. It is a tragedy that, more than two decades on, women remain on the periphery of decision-making, including in peace and security processes.”
