  1. The brutal suppression of women’s rights by the Iranian regime, as well as the horrific repression of those protesting against such brutality, which has led to the death of hundreds of demonstrators at the hands of the Iranian police, clearly contradict the basic principles of human rights, as well as the Charter of the United Nations. There is an undeniable correlation between inclusiveness and creating long-lasting sustainable peace. Israel is keen and willing to share its knowledge and expertise in the field of women and peace and security globally.

  2. Humanitarian aid and guidance for promoting the global resilience of women is also provided by Israeli civil society organizations. Most recently, such a series of training programmes was designed for Ukrainian professionals and conducted in Israel. Those programmes provide the necessary tools to strengthen resilience through Israeli methods of coping with trauma in schools and communities. The involvement of women in the fields of peace and security is vital and must be further promoted. Yet tragically, many women around the world are still fighting for their most basic human rights. The Iranian regime is guilty of severe human rights abuses against its own population, women and girls especially.

  3. Over the years, mass casualty events and emergencies in Israel brought about the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary continuum of care based on cross-sectoral cooperation and a proactive approach to emergency preparedness. Israel stands ready to work further to bring about better involvement of women in conflict-solving and resilience-building. Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, MASHAV, implements programmes that strengthen economic and social development and build capacities for women living around the world. Those programmes, which focus on empowerment through agriculture, entrepreneurship and technology and holistic development of the health-care system aim to address gender inequality and critical aspects of sustainable development.

  4. Resilience is measured in times of conflict but is built in times of peace. At Beit Hagefen in Haifa, groups of Christian, Muslim and Jewish women gather regularly to train as volunteers in order to assist the community in times of emergency. Those women from diverse backgrounds are taught practical tools, while strengthening their resilience. Another group consisting of Bedouin and Orthodox Jewish women regularly hold meetings to enhance common discourse. Through their narratives, both personal and communal, those women help build trust and strengthen channels of communications. It is those channels that enable dialogue when most needed.

  5. Terrorism and war are global phenomena to which, unfortunately, the Israeli people are exposed on a regular basis. The citizens of many Israeli southern cities have had to cope with the long-term effects of attacks at the hands of terrorist organizations, including Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both during emergencies and in their day-to-day lives. That has emphasized the need to establish a unique model that supports those communities as a whole, as well as each of their members individually. The Israeli Trauma Coalition, in partnership with relevant Israeli authorities, established five resilience centres in southern Israel, which provide individual and family care and strengthen local authorities’ preparedness for emergency situations and security threats.

  6. Allow me to congratulate Gabon on its presidency. Israel ratified resolution 1325 (2000) in 2005, appointed a Special Envoy to address the issue and works constantly with leading partners to implement the resolution. Israel was the third country in the world to have a woman, Golda Meir, fulfil the highest political responsibilities as Prime Minister. Gender equality is enshrined in Israel’s Declaration of Independence. Israel has always believed that women play an integral part in the prevention of conflict, dispute resolution, peace processes and negotiations, peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction. For that reason, Israel has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the women and peace and security agenda at all levels — locally, nationally and internationally.
