Statement by Amb. Hadjichrysanthou at the SC – Women, Peace and Security

United Nations Security Council Open Debate “Women, Peace, and Security: towards the 25th Anniversary of Resolution 1325”   csw67-1
New York, 7 March 2023

 Madame President,

Firstly, allow me to thank you for organizing this very important debate on the eve of International Women’s Day. My statement will be complementing that of the European Union, to which we fully subscribe.

Almost 23 years have elapsed since the unanimous adoption of Security Council Resolution 1325. This was a historic moment as it was the first time the Security Council recognized the role of women in peace and security. As we come closer to the 25th Anniversary of the resolution, it is imperative to have a stock taking on what we have achieved so far, but mostly where we need to be by 2025 for the Resolution’s full implementation.

breaking-the-silence-on-femicide-2

Femicide is the most brutal and extreme manifestation of violence against women and girls,  rooted in gender inequality,  stereotyped gender roles, discrimination towards women and girls or harmful social norms. Femicide takes place in all regions and countries around the world. Globally, an estimated 81,100 women and girls were killed intentionally in 2021. This side event will discuss ways to strengthen responses to gender related killings and other forms of gender based violence against women and girls on a local, national and international level.

The Permanent Missions of Cyprus and Malta, together with UN Women and UNODC, are organising a CSW67 side event entitled:

Breaking the silence on femicide: ending gender based violence against women and girls”

📆 Thursday 9 March 2023
