“The special role in maintaining peace and advancing development lies with women. In particular we see the role of women in achieving successful conflict resolution and sustainable development of post-conflict societies. We strongly advocate women's economic empowerment for peacebuilding and development. This is why we are organizing a high-level meeting here at the UN related to gender dimension of sustainable development within the context of post-conflict recovery, on 26 September.”
