1. “That is why we support the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies initiative. On the eve of International Women’s Day, allow me to stress that prioritizing women’s empowerment in peace and security settings must remain an ongoing effort. We are proud that women in Slovenia now hold the highest political and security offices in the country. We believe that only by working together will we be able to ensure the full, effective and meaningful participation by building more inclusive, resilient and peaceful societies for all.”

2. “A systematic and inclusive approach is therefore important, as is taking into account peacekeeping mission mandates and country-specific work. Protecting women from reprisals for having shared information on specific topics and situations with the Security Council is an area in which more efforts are needed. Those brave women are true agents of change, and any attempt to silence their voices is reprehensible. The Security Council needs to do everything in its power to enable their safe work. Thirdly, we need to address the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence and harmful practices more effectively, as that remains a pervasive and systemic problem in many conflicts. We should do more to ensure accountability and end impunity for the perpetrators of those crimes and to deliver justice to survivors.”

3. “They represent a commitment to prioritize the promotion of women’s participation and protection in all aspects of peace and security. In our experience, drafting an action plan can have a catalytic effect not only on women’s participation, but also on the activities of all relevant stakeholders. Slovenia therefore started drafting its third plan this year. Secondly, we must recognize the important role of women in preventing and resolving conflicts, as well as in building and sustaining peace. Slovenia’s Peace Operations Training Centre conducts training sessions on gender equality and gender mainstreaming in international missions and operations, as well as on the interplay among water, climate change and peace and security. We also welcome the inclusion of women in the discussions and outcomes of the Security Council.”

4. “Slovenia aligns itself with the statements to be delivered by the observer of the European Union and on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. The latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2022/740) reveals significant setbacks in the global situation of women in recent years. That trend is cause for concern and is further compounded by global security developments, including environmental degradation, which is one of the biggest threat multipliers for women and girls. We thank Mozambique for organizing this debate and welcome the opportunity to engage in taking stock of the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda. Allow me to underline the following. First, national action plans are major contributions that every United Nations Member State can make to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”
