STATEMENT OF ISRAEL, October, 2015

Extract:

As part of our commitment to gender equality, Israel enacted legislation in 2005 that guarantees women’s equal participation in public decision-making, peacebuilding, reconciliation and representation of women in all national policy issues. The inclusion of women is the key to opening the door to a sustainable peace. Mashav — Israel’s Agency for International Development — has been actively training women from throughout the world to equip them with the necessary leadership skills so they can hold senior positions in society. Israel’s commitment to full participation has been recognized here at the United Nations. Israel is proud to have recently joined the 48 States members of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. Together, we will work to advance global progress towards women’s empowerment.
