1. “Lastly, Mexico reiterates its commitment to continuing to promote the women and peace and security agenda from various angles, such as the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action, adopted by the Generation Equality Forum.”

2. “The second is the prevention of conflict-related sexual violence and access to justice and sexual and reproductive health services for survivors and victims. The third is the protection of women peacebuilders and human rights defenders from gender-based violence. We must overcome the structural barriers that hinder gender equality, including the segregation of women in the labour market and discrimination against women in terms of their access to financial resources and land use and tenure. With regard to the role of women as mediators, I am pleased to announce that the Ibero-American network of women mediators has been registered and that it will soon be formally established. We welcome the fact that 10 Ibero-American countries have already expressed their interest in taking part in the initiative, and we hope that others will join them.”

3. “More than two decades after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), we note that, although progress has undeniably been made in this area, enormous challenges persist, and we cannot but help note the setbacks with great concern. The first-hand accounts of women who have been victims of sexual violence as a result of the war in Ukraine and the measures adopted in Afghanistan limiting the autonomy of women and girls are unacceptable. It is time to redouble our efforts to implement the measures that we have committed to and adopted. In particular, I will highlight three of them. The first is the full, equal and meaningful participation of women, in all their diversity, in decision-making processes at all levels, including in peace processes.”

4. “Ms. Mendoza Elguea (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Mexico is grateful to Mozambique for convening this open debate and for the briefings made earlier. During Mexico’s previous term as an elected member of the Security Council, one of my country’s priorities was to advance the women and peace and security agenda in line with its feminist foreign policy. As co-Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, we systematically advocated for a gender perspective in the work and deliberations of the Council. We advocated for an intersectional approach, cooperation with regional and civil society organizations and for the peacekeeping missions approved by the Council to have the necessary capacities to effectively fulfil their mandates to protect women.”
