Women have a fundamental right 2 participate in all political decision-making, and their engagement in 🕊️ processes can improve outcomes before, during & after conflict.
Despite this, their effective participation in formal peacebuilding spaces remains a persistent challenge. ‼️
"Supporting feminist movements is one of the most important decisions we can make to prevent violent conflict," pointed out
@CanadaUN
, urging the int'l community to focus on & address the factors that force women leaders in conflict & crisis to be resilient in the first place.
📢 Today we launch the Short-Term Grants of our
