  1. Women’s leadership roles in the processes of development, transformation, liberation and peacebuilding represent the essential path and a secure destiny that we must decisively strengthen and consolidate. Despite the complexity of the challenge and the opposition of multiple global Powers and ideologies, Venezuela will continue on the path of realizing that ideal in favour of women’s rights and the inclusion of all.

  2. But before their inclusion can be achieved, the military aggression of the occupying Power, the Government of Israel, must cease and genuine efforts to bring about peace must be resumed. Lastly, Venezuela would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm its unequivocal condemnation of sexual exploitation and abuse in all United Nations entities, including in peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations, as well as its full support for the policy of zero tolerance for such crimes and the urgent need to bring all those responsible to justice. Venezuela’s foreign policy remains committed to decisively combating the feminization of poverty and the exclusion of women from decision-making processes and devising public policies.

  3. They have resulted only in instability, poverty and exclusion, thereby further depriving women and girls of their fundamental rights. That is why we demand that they be lifted immediately. Let us stress on their behalf that any policy to promote women and peace and security will lack meaning, legitimacy and remain incomplete as long as Palestinian women are oppressed under the yoke of an occupying Power, the Government of Israel. The siege of Gaza has resulted in thousands of casualties, including women and girls, with bombing that does not discriminate on the basis of gender, social class, political affiliation or age, while the future of the resilient Palestinian people has been blocked. Peace efforts must include women actors.

  4. Such measures are multi-pronged weapons of war that flagrantly undermine human rights, financial systems, humanitarian assistance, supply chains, information and communications technologies, access to universal health, education and other critical infrastructure systems that are vital to the development and sustainability of all States. One of the most destructive consequences of that cruel and dehumanizing policy is its impact on the political stability of States and the reversal of progress made, especially in the areas of the rights of women and girls, internal destabilization, the trafficking and smuggling of migrants by mafia groups, and the commercial use of humanitarian assistance for business purposes. Those impacts are an undeniable reality that must be stopped.

  5. For Venezuela, advancing towards a society that is definitively equal and with rights for women is an absolute political priority, not only in the areas related to women’s participation, leadership and political decision-making, but in those related to their role in strengthening the social fabric and active role in conflict prevention and resolution at various stages, as well as in peacekeeping and peacebuilding. This policy must also be a priority and cross-cutting issue on the agenda of multilateral and regional organizations, such as the United Nations. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has repeatedly expressed in many international forums its condemnation of unilateral coercive measures and their negative impacts.

  6. Ms. Marin Sevilla (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): Although our Latin American and Caribbean region is not involved in armed conflicts, it faces other kinds of systemic aggression, such as political destabilization, foreign interventionism and unilateral coercive measures, with all of the devastating consequences they entail, primarily affecting women and girls, as well as potentially vulnerable populations.
