1. “The coronavirus disease pandemic has dramatically changed and affected all areas of our lives, including health, the economy, security and social protection. We have also witnessed a significant setback for gender equality that will require us to multiply our efforts and set our priorities straight with regard to building back better. We must acknowledge that gender equality is an essential factor for security and stability in countries. It is not only an important element in economic development but also a critical predictor of stability and security. Numerous studies, as well as the report of the Secretary-General (S/2021/827) on women and peace and security, indicate that higher levels of gender equality are associated with a lower propensity for conflict both among and within States.”

2. “Lithuania aligns itself with the statements made on behalf of the European Union and the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. I would now like to add the following remarks in my national capacity. Let me begin by expressing our great appreciation to the Norwegian presidency and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Norway, Ms. Anniken Huitfeldt, for convening this open debate on addressing violence targeting women in peace and security processes and ensuring that the topic remains high on the agenda of the Security Council. I would also like to thank the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Michelle Bachelet, as well as the other briefers, for their important insights.”
