  1. “There are still a number of speakers remaining on my list for this meeting. Given the lateness of the hour, with the concurrence of the members of the Security Council, I intend to suspend the meeting until 3 p.m. The meeting was suspended at 1 p.m.”

  4. “The provision of psychosocial and legal support to the survivors of sexual and gender-based violence should also involve local expertise, local women and local knowledge. I conclude with the words of the late Thomas Sankara who said, “I hear the roar of women’s silence; I sense the rumble of their storm”. We must ensure that the roar of the women at the grass-roots level is heard, their contribution valued and their aspirations seen and fully captured in the women and peace and security agenda. For the sake of sustainable peace, let us walk with women at the grass-roots level. Let us walk on their streets and in their villages. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Council who wish to make statements.”

  5. “Fourthly, investment in meaningful partnerships between local women and women peacekeeping mission personnel is critical. For instance, the Kenya Defence Forces deployed an all-women platoon to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to protect women in that conflict zone. Furthermore, the agency of local women in early warning and prevention should be better utilized and incorporated into national, regional and subregional early-warning mechanisms, such as FemWise-Africa. Fifthly, peace mission support should ensure that post-conflict reconstruction and development processes involve local women in relief and recovery, security sector reform and demobilization processes.”

  6. “Secondly, national action plans must deliberately take into account the contribution and participation of women at the grass-roots level and provide budget lines, support and targeted programmes to amplify their voices and build capacity and resilience. Thirdly, a key role of women peacekeepers must be the protection of women and children in conflict zones. In that regard, women peacekeepers must acquire new skills and competencies. From our experience in Somalia, we have identified women as key drivers of peace. We are beginning to train them in counter-improvised explosive devices skills at our Humanitarian Peace Support School in Embakasi, where we also offer training in engineering, within the triangular partnership programme, in association with the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.”

  7. “We must utilize their agency as interlocutors in counter-violent extremism programmes, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration initiatives and climate action and adaptation interventions in conflict zones. We must bring local women from the periphery to the centre of the women and peace and security agenda. Our peace must be owned by women — local women. Kenya is committed to that investment in local women because these women are the heartbeat of our peace. In that regard, let me highlight five action points. The first is enhanced collaboration between local women expertise with key stakeholders and new partners to generate gender- and age-informed disaggregated data, especially with regard to addressing the causes, drivers and accelerators of conflict. Data must make women visible.”

  8. “That demands investment in women across the peacebuilding and peacekeeping continuum. In conflict-affected zones, investment in women must correspond to context and the threat environment. We ought to invest in the physical protection of women and girls from abuse and violence. We must invest in homegrown conflict management skills and the knowledge of local women. We must invest in building capacity in new mediation and negotiation competencies. We must invest in livelihoods and in women-led, small and medium-sized enterprises and new agricultural practices. We must invest in the recovery of women and children. We must invest in their peace. We must invest in their advocacy.”

  9. “Women are quietly working, organizing and mobilizing for peace at the grass-roots level — in villages, camps for internally displaced persons, refugee camps and in the sprawling informal settlements that dot across our continent and in myriad locations all over the world. They are rebuilding broken communities, forging reconciliation and agitating for their rights, even in the face of disruption and displacement, sexual and gender-based violence and the brutality of conflict itself. The endeavour of women at the local level, at the heart of conflict zones, is often overlooked and underrated, yet sustainable peace must be owned and nurtured by communities and families in the first instance. It is therefore necessary to uplift the voices of women in the field and to bolster their contributions in conflict prevention and peacemaking.”

  10. “It features women leaders, peacebuilders, mediators, peace signatories, parliamentarians, activists and youth advocates. The photographs capture the tangible outcomes we are all seeking in the implementation of the resolution 1325 (2000) and the women and peace and security agenda. Kenya, in partnership with the Department of Peace Operations, the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and UN-Women, will today launch the African tour of this travelling exhibition. We thank Denmark, Canada, Australia and Norway for energizing this collaboration, as well as the women photographers who brought us these stories. We also appreciate Kenya Airways for facilitating the voyage of this exhibition to the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic, and to Nairobi next year.”

  11. “Resolution 1325 (2000) and the subsequent resolutions call upon us to recognize and actively seek the participation of women in building, negotiating and keeping the peace. We must therefore endeavour to see women; we must make their work, their experiences and accomplishments visible. We must invest in them; we must walk in their pathways and on their streets in order to incorporate their ambitions and needs into national and international policies and strategies and fully comprehend their interventions in the construction and maintenance of peace. That is why I was excited and humbled this morning to walk through the Photoville exhibition alongside the Secretary-General and the Executive Director of UN-Women. I recommend the exhibition to everyone.”

  12. “Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who is here both as a Permanent Representative and as a member of President Biden’s Cabinet. I thank them for joining us today. The Security Council is designed to offer solutions. However, peace must be planted deeper and rise from the grass roots. In the words of Ms. Hawa Games Dahad, a gender observer who recently participated in the Juba peace talks: “[p]eace cannot be confined to meetings and speeches in conference halls; peace must be spread from the streets”. In that sense, peacebuilding and peacekeeping are manifestations of the dignity, courage, tenacity and ambition of ordinary people. The Security Council and United Nations agencies must continue to encourage and design peace processes that include the people, particularly women at the grass- roots level.”

  13. “I thank Ms. Umenza Velasco for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Kenya.
