  1. “The increased, sustained and coordinated mobilization of financial resources, including through earmarking, remains of key importance to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda.”

  2. “The proposed plan recognizes the adverse effects of conflict on women and girls, prioritizes women's human rights and gender equality in all aspects and ensures women's equal participation and leadership roles in all peacebuilding processes. In preparing their national action plans, many countries face gaps, challenges and limitations. That process could be helped by firm political commitments to transform rhetoric into reality and strong stakeholder partnerships to implement the Secretary-General's report. Commitments in those areas could also form part of the overarching objectives for the twentieth anniversary of the women and peace and security agenda. Despite our continued best efforts to enhance women's empowerment and participation in all spheres of our lives, much more needs to be done.”

  3. “One particular situation in Bangladesh that is directly relevant to the women and peace and security agenda and which bears mentioning is that of the devastating accounts of rape, sexual violence and abuse perpetrated against women and girls of the Rohingya community when they fled Myanmar's Rakhine state in August 2017. We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten, for keeping the Council informed on issues of sexual violence against Rohingya women and girls. Members of the Council should take decisive action in response to the various reports on justice and accountability in that regard. That should feature prominently in the Council's future deliberations. Bangladesh is working to prepare its first national action plan on resolution 1325 (2000).”

  4. “The Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace calls for the empowerment of people, particularly women and young people, which is a major element in strengthening international peace and security. That is clearly complementary to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda. Bangladesh's growing contribution of female peacekeepers is consistent with its commitment to the United Nations. We strongly support the Secretary- General's Action for Peacekeeping initiative and laud his efforts towards ensuring gender parity in senior appointments under his system-wide strategy on gender parity.”

  5. “The resolution was followed by several others designed to strengthen the process, create consensus about women's extreme vulnerability in conflict situations and promote women's ability to participate in peace negotiations, peacebuilding and peacekeeping. The Secretary-General's report this month on women and peace and security (S/2019/800) reflects some progress. But many challenges remain, particularly with regard to women's participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations and the increasing political violence targeting women. All of us, the States Members of the United Nations and the Security Council, can facilitate the actions recommended in the report with regard to areas such as accountability, the meaningful participation of women - particularly in decision-making processes - and human rights violations.”

  6. “The delegation of Bangladesh aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. Our thanks go to the delegation of South Africa for originating this debate and for highlighting the issue of women and peace and security at the Security Council once again by proposing a new resolution (resolution 2493 (2019)), which, what is more, was adopted unanimously. In October 2000, as a non-permanent member of the Council, Bangladesh played a leading role in the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security.”
