Pak’s statement on “Peace Is Decided with Women,Emerging 4rm Conflict through Women’s Participation.

Women are a major constituency for peace that is why peace built without women is peace built on fragile ground. It may end the sound of guns, but it cannot properly heal the wounds of societies, restore trust in people and institutions, or better prevent the return of conflict. Sustainable peace also requires the wisdom, leadership and lived experience of women — not at the margins, but at the table where decisions are made. This is not only a question of fairness. It is a question of effectiveness. Peace agreements that include women are often more responsive to the needs of communities and more durable over time.
