The AWLN Group of Friends wishes to focus its statement on four main points. First, the AWLN Group of Friends recognizes the urgent need to continue its march to localize peace and security efforts and to continue to support a bottom-up approach at the local and national levels if we are to ensure long-term gains for peace and stability.”

  8. “However, women remain largely excluded from local, national, regional and international decision-making processes. Despite our strong and continued engagements to ensure women’s meaningful participation, the global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has tested Governments and civil society alike. It has added yet another layer of risk and complexity to conflicts. It has also further widened gendered inequalities and threatens to undermine human rights. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbates poverty, inequalities and gender-based violence. It has been aptly coined the shadow pandemic by UN-Women, with particular effects on women and girls, threatening all efforts led on the peacebuilding front.”

The Group also commends the Secretary-General for his report on the issue (S/2020/946), which captures the progress made on the role of women in securing peace and security, while forthrightly calling on Member States to step up efforts on financing and on the implementation of the agenda. It is now 20 years since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security.”
