Together with @unwomenAU, @UNWomenBurundi, #FemWise, and the Government of Burundi, @AUC_OSEWPS hosted a session titled "From Promise to Practice: Intergenerational Voices in Peace Negotiations & Access to Justice for All Women and Girls."
I had the honour to give remarks in the opening of #AUHighLevelRetreat in #Libreville today. Posing here with @Amb_Mulamula and @NoncebaLosi and #Femwise & #WiseYouth who have important role in #peacemediation in Africa.
Towards strengthening coordination and complementarity between the #FemWise-#Chad #NationalChapter and other national institutions, the @_AfricanUnion delegation also held bilateral meetings with the Ministry of #Justice and the Office of the #NationalMediatorofChad.
Emphasis was placed on fostering institutional synergies, enhancing information-sharing and collaboration, and aligning efforts to ensure a gender-responsive, inclusive, and impactful approach to mediation, conflict prevention, and sustainable peacebuilding.

This week (13–17 April 2026), the @FemWiseAfrica Network is in N’Djamena, 🇹🇩, for the launch of the #FemWise-#Chad National Chapter and a capacity-building training for community and national women mediators.
Ahead of the launch, the @FemWiseAfrica delegation, led by Hon. Justice Effie Owour, paid a courtesy visit to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of #Chad. The engagement provided an opportunity to exchange views on enhancing institutional and technical support for #Chadian women mediators, with a shared commitment to strengthening their capacity to effectively prevent, manage, and respond to conflict dynamics across the country.

"We warmly welcome this milestone and urge all mediation and peace actors to turn its promises into practice. When women are meaningfully included in peace processes, the outcomes are stronger, fairer, and more enduring.
Through its Work, #FemWise-Africa continues to mobilize women mediators and deploy them to African Union preventive diplomacy and mediation missions. This ensures that women take up their rightful place in shaping peace."
- LADY JUSTICE RTD EFFIE OWUOR,
Co-Chair of Fem-Wise Africa at the #UNSG's Common Pledge on Women's Participation in Peace Processes.
