FOREWORD
«Fifteen years ago, Security Council resolution 1325
reaffirmed the importance of the equal participation
and full involvement of women in all efforts for
maintaining and promoting peace and security. In the
years since, it has buttressed this decision by adopting
six further resolutions on women, peace and security.
I am personally committed to implementing these
resolutions. I have highlighted women’s leadership
in peacebuilding as a priority and appointed an
unprecedented number of women leaders in the
United Nations. It is essential to ensure that the UN
is fit for purpose when it comes to women, peace and
security, and that we become a model for all actors to
emulate.
Women’s leadership and the protection of women’s
rights should always be at the forefront – and never
an afterthought – in promoting international peace
and security. In an era when armed extremist groups
place the subordination of women at the top of their
agenda, our response should be unwavering support
for empowering girls and women. The newly adopted
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects this priority with its emphasis on gender equality and
respect for the human rights of all.
The Global Study on the implementation of resolution
1325 is an important part of the United Nations
global agenda for change to better serve the world’s
most vulnerable people. As noted by the HighLevel
Independent Panel on United Nations Peace
Operations and the Advisory Group of Experts for the
2015 Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding
Architecture, changes in conflict may be outpacing the
ability of United Nations peace operations to respond
effectively. Any reforms must include gender equality
and women’s leadership as central ingredients.
The Global Study offers new evidence, ideas and good
practices that can help generate new commitments
and implement old ones. Let us not squander the
potential dividends of gender equality for peace and
development. Empowering women to end and prevent
conflicts is essential and urgent.
I commend this Study. It is a call to action that all
should heed».

Ki-moon destacou que medidas de inclusão foram adotadas desde 2000, mas
reconheceu a necessidade de maior participação das mulheres. O secretário-geral
enfatizou ainda a importância de tomar medidas para proteger os direitos das
mulheres mais vulneráveis, como as indígenas e as vítimas do extremismo
violento.
“As vozes das
líderes e ativistas mulheres pela paz são raras nesse fórum. Mas são as mais
importantes que você vai ouvir hoje”, declarou a diretora executiva da ONU
Mulheres, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, ressaltando os movimentos femininos para
promover a justiça.
Mlambo-Ngcuka
exemplificou a atuação das mulheres com os processos de paz na Colômbia e
Filipinas acrescentando que, para construir a paz, uma “significativa inclusão
de mulheres” se faz necessária». Leia na integra.
