  1. “The women and peace and security agenda is arguably one of the most recognizable agendas of the Security Council, not just because it acknowledges the role of women but also because it proves that there is no peace without women. It is therefore our collective responsibility to enhance our efforts to achieve the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and to adopt gender-sensitive approaches in order to create a more peaceful and prosperous world for all. Now is the moment to translate our commitment into action.”

  2. “Global repercussions, including the gender-specific dimensions of the impact of climate-related risks on peace and security and the gender gap in food security, are not an exception. Those challenges are gravely impacting the most vulnerable. Cyprus believes that the roles of women and girls in building peace and stability in post- conflict situations and peace processes goes beyond the issue of gender equality. Their participation is catalytic to the efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperous societies. Ensuring the inclusive implementation of peace agreements is a sine qua non for overcoming the fragility of such situations.”

  3. “In the face of unprecedented challenges around the world, it is our common responsibility to ensure that women’s and women-led grass-roots organizations have the funding and operational capacities to participate in the full spectrum of the women and peace and security agenda. For that reason, Cyprus has responded to the call of the Secretary-General and will voluntarily contribute to the Invest-in-Women Global Campaign of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund for the period from 2023 to 2025, with the aim of supporting women’s organizations and human rights defenders in crisis situations. Undeniably, women and girls pay the highest price in conflict situations.”

  4. “It is our common responsibility to ensure zero tolerance for any form of attack, intimidation or reprisal against women and girls for their participation in political life, work on human rights and humanitarian affairs, peacebuilding activities and cooperation with United Nations mechanisms. In that regard, Cyprus notes with concern that as recorded in the latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2023/725), widespread attacks against women human rights defenders in conflict-affected settings still continues. It is Cyprus’s firm belief that civil society organizations serve the cause of peace, security and prosperity at the local, national and international levels.”

  5. “Women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in peace processes and decision-making structures should be not just an aspiration but also a prerequisite for sustainable peace. Since 2000, important progress has been achieved in the women and peace and security agenda. However, the sad reality is that we are now witnessing major pushbacks against the rights of women and girls across the world. As more women and girls come into the spotlight because of the women and peace and security agenda, the number of attacks and reprisals against them is on the rise. We must ensure that the participation of women in the women and peace and security agenda is not only full, equal and meaningful but also safe.”

  6. “Let me thank you, Sir, for organizing this very important debate and express our appreciation to all the briefers for their insightful briefings and recommendations. My statement complements the statement made on behalf of the European Union, to which Cyprus fully subscribes. Some 23 years have elapsed since the unanimous adoption of resolution 1325 (2000). That was a historic moment, taking into consideration that the breakthrough resolution affirmed the importance of gender perspectives in peace negotiations, peacekeeping operations, peacebuilding and post-conflict governance. Two years before the milestone twenty- fifth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), it is crucial to assess what we have achieved, but mostly where we need to be by 2025.”
