Welcome to the United Nations
Elizka Relief Foundation
Improving women's participation in peace and security is one of the main objectives of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda and this is certainly closely related to arms control and disarmament. Although participation in decision-making mechanisms in the field of disarmament and arms control has increased in recent years, this field still lags significantly behind the participation of women when compared to other areas of diplomacy.
The event aims to:
- First: Shedding light on successful examples of women from different regions (Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Arab region) in the fields of peace-building and conflict resolution.
- Second: Working to raise awareness of women from different regions of the world about their role in achieving world peace, and how this relates to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
- Third: Highlighting the women who play a distinguished role in supporting peace initiatives in their regions, and also leading various campaigns, which is of course in line with the achievement of the fifth goal of the sustainable development goals.
- Fourth: The ability to identify the most important challenges that impede women's effective participation in conflict resolution, and how they were able in those areas to exploit the available possibilities and confront those challenges in order to reduce the intensity of conflicts.
- Fifth: Shedding light on the role of civil society in supporting the activities and efforts of women in achieving world peace. Sixth: Shedding light on the gender perspective in international agreements, for example, the Arms Trade Treaty.
