  1. “We support civil society organizations in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, in particular through the Support Fund for Feminist Organizations, which France established, and which has mobilized more than €120 million since 2019 to fund the activities of women’s movements worldwide. We will preserve the Fund so that women’s rights are supported on the ground. It is through concrete commitments that it will be possible to fully implement the women and peace and security agenda. In that regard, Member States can be assured of our unwavering support.”

  2. “To that end, France funds projects to train French-speaking female officers and gender advisers in peacekeeping operations. We will continue to act against all forms of violence, threats or reprisals against women peacebuilders. Such ongoing support for the women and peace and security agenda is reflected by the convening in Paris in June 2021 of the Generation Equality Forum, co-chaired by Mexico and organized in cooperation with UN- Women. We call on all States to join the momentum generated by the Forum, which mobilized more than $40 billion in pledges, and to endorse the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action, launched at that event.”

  3. “Yet the involvement of women in peace talks increases the probability of a sustainable peace agreement by 35 per cent, according to UN-Women. Our Council must work to implement the “never without them” principle in its work. In the context of its feminist diplomacy, France is fully committed to implementing the women and peace and security agenda through its third national action plan. We will continue to support the establishment of robust mandates and provision of adequate resources to ensure the protection and participation of women in United Nations missions and operations. We will continue our efforts to promote the gender balance of staff and the full, equal, meaningful and effective representation and participation of women at all levels of responsibility in such operations.”

  4. “Secondly, in the area of protection, in all conflict and crisis situations, to take the current examples of Ukraine, Yemen and Somalia, women are particularly affected, even deliberately targeted, by sexual and gender-based violence. Those responsible must be held accountable for their actions. In that regard, France welcomes the role of the International Criminal Court in combating impunity. We call on all our partners to step up the pressure on the perpetrators of such crimes by placing the perpetrators of such violence under sanctions. Thirdly, in the area of women’s participation, only 28 per cent of peace agreements include provisions on the role of women. In the past 25 years, only 2 per cent of mediators and 8 per cent of negotiators were women.”

  5. “Ms. Schiappa (France) (spoke in French): I would like to thank you, Madam President, for having convened this open debate. I wish to commend your exemplary commitment to the women and peace and security agenda. I would also like to thank our briefers for their valuable insights into our debate. On the eve of 8 March, and at a time when we are witnessing unprecedented setbacks in women’s rights throughout the world, the Security Council’s strong commitment to fully implementing the 10 resolutions making up the women and peace and security agenda in its four dimensions is crucial. First, in the area of prevention, the segregation policy practised by the Taliban in Afghanistan, which massively and systematically violates the rights and freedoms of Afghan women, is intolerable and serves to plunge the country into crisis.”
