2. “It goes without saying that women’s empowerment and leadership require adequate prevention of conflict and conflict-related violence, as well as protection, relief and recovery for survivors. In that vein, a survivor-centred approach should guide international peace efforts, focusing on ending impunity for conflict-related, gender-based and sexual violence, bringing the perpetrators to justice and providing just reparations. Greece fully supports the Secretary-General’s Action for Peacekeeping initiative and commits to actively participating in the effective implementation of the women and peace and security agenda.”

3. “At the same time, comprehensive gender analysis and technical gender expertise are practical tools that enable peace processes to address in concreto the root causes of conflict, as well as the actual needs of populations in specific operational contexts. As the Secretary-General points out in his most recent report on women and peace and security (S/2021/827), investment in women’s participation and leadership is crucial for gender-responsive peacebuilding. Grassroots women’s networks and women human rights defenders can be powerful agents of peaceful change if they are given a voice and the chance for meaningful representation and engagement in political transition. Therefore, strategic and innovative partnerships with local women and community-based youth organizations should be prioritized in peace processes.”

4. “Greece thanks the Kenyan presidency of the Security Council for convening the open debate on investing in women in peacekeeping and peacebuilding. While fully aligning with the statement delivered by the European Union (see S/PV.8886), Greece submits this written statement in its national capacity. Undoubtedly, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are essential for the advancement of sustainable peace, security and social justice. In that regard, the recently adopted resolution 2594 (2021) recognizes the need to ensure a strategic, coherent and gender-responsive approach to peacebuilding and peacekeeping. In order to achieve that, systematic intersectional gender mainstreaming at all stages of planning, implementation and reporting is of the utmost importance.”
