At a recent meeting w/Afghan women, civil servants and diplomats working on Afghanistan, I heard the exact opposite - Afghans are losing hope and suicide rates are increasing, child marriages rising, aid money is being diverted…The lack of balance+gender blindness is alarming.
Another brilliant conversation on peace leadership. There are many obstacles to inclusive peace, but we have the will, tenacity, creativity, and community to overcome them.

I believe #genderequality & sustainable #peace & #security cannot be achieved without #women at the decision-making tables. Supporting leadership & grassroots women-led inititiatives is key. Here my interview on how we can amplify women’s voices!#WPS@OSCE

From one of today’s speakers on the scale of the vision for a peaceful Syria: “It is our right to dream. And this dream makes us wake up everyday and work. We need to remain hopeful. It’s a common dream but we will take different steps to achieve this dream.”#citizenscharter
Civil Society can, and should, take part in the Political and Peace Processes - as well as in creating advocacy channels for Syrians to contribute to policy discussions around the future of Syria.
