For lasting peace and security, women must have a seat at the table and a say in decision-making.
But too often they do not. ODIHR spoke at a CSW70 side event with partners from Poland and Ukraine on practical ways to strengthen women’s role in politics, peace and security.
Our first co-organised side event at the #CSW70 took place yesterday in New York! ✨🇺🇳
At Women at the table, I stressed: there is no meaningful Women, Peace and Security agenda without gender parity in politics. ⚖️
🙏 Poland 🇵🇱 & Ukraine 🇺🇦
#CSW70 #WPS #GenderParity #ODIHR
New York, bring up the #CSW magic ✨ ✨ ✨ Rights. Justice. Action.
On this day 10 years ago, we launched the 50% campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦, demanding women and men be placed consecutively on candidate lists. For us, it was always about equality, fairness and democracy. 10 years later, the fight continues. #IWD #ParityDemocracy ✨
#CSW70 is around the corner 🇺🇳
@odihr.pl & Albanian Mission to the UN 🇦🇱 hosting an important discussion: How can gender equality laws deliver real change in equal participation and gender-responsive governance?
If you’ll be in New York for CSW70 - join us!
🕊️⚖️@odihr.pl's core message is simple: peace and security decision-making cannot be credible without gender parity. Join Poland, Ukraine & ODIHR for a common side event.
