Participation

We have been firmly advocating for and promoting women’s equitable and meaningful participation in conflict prevention, crisis management, conflict resolution, mediation and peacebuilding, and we aim to improve the representation and participation of women throughout our civilian and military deployments. We want to see practical steps taken to tackle impunity for the use of rape by State and non-State actors as a weapon of war and to continue to change global attitudes to such crimes. Accountability and access to justice are a must, and victims, survivors and witnesses of sexual violence have to be ensured access to impartial and gender-sensitive tribunals and to reparations, including as a form of transitional gender justice.
