  1. “The United Nations system should be more present on the front line to further to give incentive to partnerships so that international assistance can be more effective in implementing national policies. Cooperation networks linking women's and women's youth organizations, with the goal of encouraging and bolstering the civic and political participation of those organizations, must continue to be supported, as well as establishing and energizing a women's monitoring body to assess and publish data on their progress so as to achieve gender equality through partnerships with national research institutions and the latter's international counterparts.”

  2. “That was one of the outcomes achieved through the struggle and the advocacy of the political platform of women that will lead to considerably positive change for Guinea-Bissau, once full and viable stability has been achieved and sustainably ensured. With a View towards ensuring a more effective partnership between the United Nations and Guinea- Bissau, the goal ofwhich is to build a reconciled, fair and just society, we propose the following recommendations. The United Nations system in Guinea-Bissau should prioritize work geared towards achieving political stabilization by encouraging inclusive national dialogue that will allow for the adoption, monitoring and implementation of a national stability pact.”

  3. “At the same time, given the upcoming holding of elections scheduled for 18 November, drawing on our experience in 2014, and moving forward the electoral process, a platform of women and young people was chosen for moving forward the electoral process with the financial support of the Peacebuilding Fund and the technical support of the United Nations. The process will facilitate registering voters, a civic education campaign, media coverage, the electoral campaign and monitoring possible outbreaks of Violence during the electoral process, as well as on election day. Lastly, I would like to cite as a positive example concerning women, as we are all fully committed together to dialogue with other actors and partners, the recent adoption by the legislature of a gender parity bill to ensure that 36 per cent quota of women on the ballot.”

  4. “The stakeholders decided to create an alliance of civil society organizations in order to follow up on the political dialogue to break out of the impasse in which the Government is stuck. That platform made it possible for us to make a series of recommendations, which are the basis for a draft political and social stability pact. The process is under way. We hope that the pact will be signed by all stakeholders within a new social and cultural development framework as the basis of a new social contract.”

  5. “That group led to the creation of the national women's council of Guinea-Bissau - a broad and inclusive group that is fully representative of the political, religious, ethnic and territorial diversity throughout the different communities of the country and the diaspora. For the first time we can today say that civil society - with the essential and decisive support of women and the recognition of the United Nations and ongoing support, especially from the Embassy of Canada - has been able to come together with the political parties in conflict, religious organizations, universities, youth organizations and traditional leaders to reflect on and discuss the quest for a solution to the political crisis.”

  6. “There was equal access for all candidates to State media, while effective and qualitative involvement by civil society encouraging all parties to work in a climate of trust, solidarity and security led to elections that were deemed to be free, fair and transparent. The role of women was thus shown to be key in the elections. But those efforts did not come to an end in 2014, nor are they limited to the domain of elections. In all of the political and institutional crises of the country, our organization has encouraged various dialogue initiatives. We participated in the establishment of a group of women facilitators for dialogue among parties in conflict, which made a major contribution in overcoming the 2017 crisis.”

  7. “It was a platform made up of women's organizations that worked towards avoiding and resolving any problems on the ground during the presidential elections with the use of an early-warning system. The unit was made up of 200 women and youth monitors throughout the country, as well 45 other young people who monitored violence and sent real-time text messages on the situation. The groups worked to simultaneously harmonize mediation efforts in order to avoid tensions before, during, and after elections once the results were published. Awareness-raising and civic education campaigns on electoral processes were also carried out to complement those efforts. The results achieved were satisfactory.”

  8. “Our objective is to coordinate and optimize women's role and initiatives in prevention, post-conflict rebuilding and the promotion of human rights. We are a regional network that also works to promote gender equality, good governance and democracy. It is made up of a variety of women's organizations fighting for a definitive, lasting peace within our communities while achieving the agenda set out in resolution 1325 (2000). In 2014, in coordination with civil society and the country's electoral institutions, along with the support of the United Nations system, we actively contributed to the national electoral process by establishing elections monitoring cells to resolve any conflict situations during elections.”

  9. “The socioeconomic conditions are increasingly challenging and are exacerbated by instability, which in turn is having a significant cumulative impact on young people, who are facing an increasing lack of education and employment opportunities and are subjected to the risks of clandestine migration and drug trafficking. Above all, that has an impact on women and girls, who are fighting on a daily basis to support their households and families during such difficult times in an environment that has deteriorated socially, culturally and in terms ofintercommunal social cohesion. My organization continues to play a very important role through the activism of its women members to ease the tensions of the conflict and promote peace in our country.”

  10. “The historic aspirations and the progress achieved in recent years are especially deserving of recognition in terms of the participation of women. Throughout the history of the country, women have shown their clear ability to be politically involved, build peace and defend their rights, especially in terms of economic and social development and social cohesion. However, the recurring political and governmental instability have posed an obstacle to the adoption and implementation of necessary and urgent public policies, which have kept women from fully enjoying their rights, especially their civil, political, economic and social rights. The situation in Guinea-Bissau remains fragile.”

  11. “It is a great honour and pleasure for me to be here today with the Security Council to represent the Women, Peace and Security Network of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Guinea-Bissau. I am particularly honoured to speak at a meeting with my compatriot and Prime Minister, Mr. Aristides Gomes, as well as the representatives of Guinea-Bissau to the United Nations. Allow me to speak as a citizen and a woman leader in Guinea-Bissau. I thank the speakers who preceded me. I would like to focus my statement on aspects that are specific to women and the role they play in civil society in Guinea-Bissau. The participation of women and girls is an integral part of the development goals in the particular context of Guinea-Bissau.”
