“It’s happening to every woman"
Testimonies collected by our partner @WclacPalestine show systematic sexual & gender-based violence against Palestinians
An independent, impartial investigation is imperative. All survivors deserve justice & accountability

The paper deals with questions including:
🔴How have issues around men, boys and masculinity been incorporated thus far into WPS policy frameworks?
🟠How could such issues help strengthen implementation? What would be the key goals of including this topic within work on WPS?
🔴How are patriarchal masculinities and structural drivers of violence hindering peace?
🟠What thematic areas are priorities for feminists under this agenda?
🟡What approaches might be effective in mobilising men to work for peace and women’s rights? ⬇️

Looking ahead: Our statement for #CSW69, marking the 30th anniversary of the #BP4A, brings to life how unchecked and rising militarism, human rights violations and lack of accountability undermine the achievement of #WomensRights and sustainable peace. wilpf.org/advocacy_documents…

Powerful last words from @WaiWaiNu to the #UNSC at the #WPS open debate: "Women in #Myanmar and across the globe are watching today to see if your words will be matched by action."

🗣️ @OfficialMariamS: “For #WPS to function...it has to have 1 thing – the flexibility & political will to be able to be implemented in states where there are #authoritarian & #totalitarian regimes. If it cannot function in these regimes–which are increasing–it will not work.”

Today, we stand with activist @WaiWaiNu as she briefs the #UNSC at the #WPS Open Debate on the situation of women's rights and participation in #Myanmar and in conflicts around the world.

At the “Peace Talks and Gender” panel hosted by the EU at the UN, I strongly advocated for the recognition of #GenderApartheid in international law, particularly within the framework of the Crimes Against Humanity Convention currently being drafted. I urged the establishment of safe digital platforms to empower Afghan women’s activism, the bolstering of women’s rights organizations and businesses, and the importance of recognizing and amplifying the diverse voices of Afghan women in global conversations.
We were pleased to help organize this closed-door discussion this morning with colleagues and partners on the dire situation of #HumanRights in Afghanistan. #WomenPeaceSecurity
This morning as part of #WPS week, 🇮🇪 hosted a discussion on the situation in Afghanistan.
The large scale exclusion & deprivation of women’s rights in Afghanistan represents a total disrespect for human dignity.
Women & girls must be included in discussions relating to their country.
Ireland will continue to call for their full, equal & meaningful participation.
