  1. “We have trained more than 130,000 women from developing countries and founded the UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education in order to enable more women to use knowledge and skills to change their lives. Tomorrow is International Women’s Day. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to all female colleagues and all the women of the United Nations family. When more women are able to create value and gain the opportunity to realize their dreams, our world will be one step closer to peace, civilization and prosperity.”

  2. “Over the past 30 years, China has deployed more than 1,000 female uniformed personnel to United Nations peacekeeping operations, who have performed tasks such as mine clearance and the removal of explosive ordnance, security patrols and medical treatments, bringing hope to people in conflict areas. In recent years, we have helped developing countries implement 100 maternal and child health projects and worked with UNICEF to improve maternal and newborn health in various African countries. We have provided emergency food aid to women and children facing the threat of hunger in the Horn of Africa and helped to eliminate poverty for low-income women and their families by promoting Juncao technology.”

  3. “We support the active participation in politics of women from all walks of life and continue to expand the channels for women to participate in decision-making and administration. Women currently make up more than 40 per cent of the workforce in China, approximately 45.8 per cent of scientific and technological workers nationwide and 55 per cent of digital entrepreneurs. From rural revitalization to scientific and technological innovation, from social governance to international exchange, China’s women have increasingly become leaders in all walks of life, writing exemplary and heroic chapters in our national history. In the course of maintaining our common security, promoting our common development and building a common future, the positive contributions of China and China’s women are manifest.”

  4. “We call on the international community to make greater efforts to fulfil its commitments on the women and peace and security agenda at an accelerated pace, achieve synergy between it and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and inject new momentum into the cause of global gender equality and women’s development. China is an advocate of gender equality and has taken concrete actions to empower women. In the grand process of promoting China’s path to modernization, the status of Chinese women has undergone tremendous changes and their sense of achievement, happiness and security has continued to improve. We have made it a national priority to protect women’s rights and interests and have established a legal system for that purpose that includes more than 100 laws and regulations.”

  5. “The Beijing Declaration of the Fourth World Conference on Women pointed out that peace is attainable and is inextricably linked to the advancement of women. The Platform for Action adopted at the Conference lists women and armed conflict as one of its 12 priority areas, emphasizing that if women are to play an equal part in securing and maintaining peace, they must be empowered politically and economically. In 2025 we will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the World Conference on Women held in Beijing and the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

  6. “More and more women are serving as special representatives and envoys and becoming mediators for hotspot issues. More and more are sitting at negotiating tables and signing peace agreements. More and more are wearing Blue Helmets and becoming defenders of peace and security. More and more are devoting themselves to humanitarian relief and becoming guardians of vulnerable groups in conflict areas. She-power continues to grow, and the foundations for lasting peace continue to be consolidated. At the same time, in many countries and regions, women are still suffering in conflicts and from instability, hunger and poverty, gender discrimination and violence. We still have a long way to go in building a world where women are free from the scourge of war and fear and where societies are founded on gender equality and inclusive development.”

  7. “Ms. Lin Yi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I congratulate you, Madam President, on steering today’s meeting, and I thank Executive Director Bahous, President Spoljaric Egger and Special Envoy Diop for their briefings. I am pleased to be attending today’s Security Council meeting in my capacity as the Vice-Chairperson of the National Working Committee on Children and Women under the State Council of China. Twenty-three years ago, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1325 (2000), which redefined the relationship between women and peace and security. Since then, women have begun to be seen not merely as victims of war but as contributors to peace, and their active role and participation in the field of peace and security has continued to grow.”
