Addressing systemic barriers, the statement highlights the need for greater inclusion of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts. It argues that women’s unique perspectives and contributions are frequently overlooked in diplomatic and security processes. The call comes as part of broader advocacy for gender equality in global peace initiatives.
