  1. “A commitment to peace demands a commitment to women's meaningful participation in peace efforts. We stand ready to learn more and to share our knowledge of the meaningful actions that we can take to secure and ensure genuinely inclusive peace.”

  2. “Australia is also researching the gendered dimensions of violent extremism in the region and the various roles that women play and could play in countering extremism and promoting stability and inclusion. All of those research findings will inform Australia's second national action plan, expected in mid-2019. Australia has greatly progressed its military gender adviser capability. We have trained 101 Australian military gender advisers to deploy on operations and exercises. We have established 10 full-time gender- adviser positions dedicated to mainstreaming and integrating a military gender perspective in Australia. We have also established four permanent deployed gender-adviser positions, including the first Gender Adviser to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan.”

  3. “We are also proud to support UN-Women's Global Acceleration Instrument for Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action. The research also shows that women's meaningful participation is rarely adequately supported or funded. Too often institutional arrangements exclude women from key processes, and stand-alone measures such as quotas are not enough in isolation. Women from our region are seeking practical responses. Access to childcare, safe transport and toilets, consulting with women on the timing of meetings and funding travel for companions or carers are among their suggestions. They also seek protection from and an end to the violence that they face from those who oppose their activism and leadership.”

  4. “That research, which also informed the Expert Group's report, shows that one of the most crucial factors in securing lasting peace agreements is the active presence of women's civil-society organizations. Women's organizations are on the ground before, during and after conflicts. They help mediate and resolve conflicts and rebuild community relations and trust in institutions. Yet women's organizations in our region tell us that it is only when women enter the post-conflict security sector or Government that their governance skills, capacities and qualities are fully appreciated. Australia is proud to be the founding and largest donor to the Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund in support of women's grass-roots organizations.”

  5. “Thereisno one-size-fits- all solution to ensuring women's meaningful participation in peace processes. We need research and to share knowledge to translate the theoretical concepts ofthe women and peace and security agenda into action and good practice. We need to identify solutions and approaches that are context-specific, inclusive and informed by experience, especially that of local actors. Australia welcomes the report of the Informal Expert Group on Women, Peace and Security and its recommendations, and commends the work of the experts who contributed to it. Towards an Inclusive Peace, an Australian-funded research project in partnership with Australia's universities, focuses on women and peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.”
