  1. “We can no longer afford to exclude the talents and insights of half the population in the pursuit of peace. We need a more inclusive approach to peace and security and a broader gender perspective - a shift in paradigms and perceptions of and attitudes towards women's participation. If we want a better future, we need to adopt a new value-based approach and lobby for inclusive peace processes. We need to open the doors and provide women with access to decision-making, negotiations and the actual table. That is the only way forward. Let us all work together towards access and seats at the table for women.”

  2. “Women's direct participation in negotiations therefore improves both accord quality and provision-implementation rates. As an illustration, they found a higher rate of provision implementation 10 years after agreements were signed, as compared to agreements not signed by women. Those findings were substantiated with qualitative case-study evidence derived from looking into decades of peace processes and agreements. Resolution 1325 (2000) calls for greater representation of women in national decision-making, especially in the areas of conflict prevention and resolution. Yet, unfortunately, the voices of women are still excluded from most peace-negotiation tables. It is our collective duty to take concrete steps to get women seats at the table.”

  3. “It is not just a question of women and gender issues; it is a question of peace and security. Scientific research has demonstrated a strong correlation between inclusiveness and the sustainability of peace agreements. In an article published in August, Jana Krause of the University of Amsterdam and her colleagues show that women's active participation in peace negotiations leads to better accord content, higher agreement-implementation rates and longer- lasting peace. Their statistical results show a robust relationship between peace agreements with women signatories and peace durability. They further found that peace agreements signed by women show a significantly higher number of agreement provisions and a higher implementation rate of such provisions than those not signed by women.”

  4. “This week, I am privileged to participate in the regional women mediator networks meeting here in New York, which will bring together representatives of women mediator networks from various parts of the world, United Nations officers and representatives of civil society and academia. My fellow participants bring to the table the wealth of hundreds of years of combined experience as mediators, diplomats, researchers and officers, but also as community members, mothers and sisters. This combined human wealth is incredible, creating indispensable knowledge, insights and inner strength. Inclusiveness serves goals far beyond that of creating equal opportunities. It creates a significant new value. We need to amplify women's voices and incorporate their added value.”

  5. “Over the past 14 years, 36 seminars on women's role in conflict resolution and peacebuilding, which promote dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian women, have taken place, in which 1,075 women - Israeli and Palestinian - participated. Some of the core elements of any successful policy- development process, particularly in the areas of peace and security, are cooperation, building partnerships, sharing experiences and creating opportunities, all of which are among the many negotiating strengths associated with women. Last year, I was honoured to be invited to join the Mediterranean Women Mediators Network, a new framework initiated and supported by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Italy.”

  6. “The group promotes, inter alia, the integration of women into decision-making forums. Israeli efforts in the area of development and the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals is expressed by means of a variety of programmes and projects that are being promoted by MASHAV - Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation - which works with United Nations bodies to train women leaders. Already in 2003, the Golda Meir Mount Carmel International Training Centre hosted an international conference for women leaders entitled "Women's role in conflict resolution and peacebuilding", which developed into a series of training courses.”

  7. “Gender equality and women's empowerment comprise a core tenet of Israel's values. Israel was the first country in the world to incorporate parts of resolution 1325 (2000) into its national legislation. The fourth amendment to the women's equal rights law requires the Government to include women from all parts of society in all national policymaking teams and committees. As part of Israel's international activities aimed at achieving women's empowerment, Israel serves as a member of the Commission on the Status of Women. Beginning next year, Israel will also serve as a member of the Executive Board of UN-Women, with which we signed an agreement in 2016 that allows for the advancement of joint projects. In addition, Israel is a member of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, headed by Canada.”
