Statement of Honduras on the Security Council Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security, October, 2015
Statement of Honduras, October 2015
Honduras believes women are the missing and critical link in our global pact to attain sustainable development through a culture of peace. More than half the world's population cannot be relegated or marginalized from decisions and events that affect their lives and those of the next generations entrusted to them. Women by moral and human right must exercise their freedom, liberty, and choice in becoming equal participants and partners in issues related to conflict prevention, resolution and recovery. The only means to fully empower women is by women empowering themselves through their full exercise of economic and political rights - which are fundamental to dignity, security and well-being for all.
Statement of Honduras, October 2015
Member States must be encouraged to create an effective and achievable National Action Plan in implementing Resolution 1325, where women must be lead actors and participants in the drafting and its implementation, by taking into account every household and community. By empowering locally, women will impact globally.
Statement of Honduras, October 2015
Last and most significant, only through consciousness and recognition of women and their role and impact in culture and heritage and we inherit a culture of peace to the next generations. Women share strong bonds with traditions which trace back to ancient civilizations. The indigenous woman, who is susceptible to social cultural barriers, is wise and knowledgeable and shares the aches and pain o f mother earth.
