Women and girls are being killed in record numbers, shut out of peace tables, and left unprotected as wars multiply. Women do not need more promises, they need power, protection, and equal participation, says @unwomenchief https://t.co/scBRb4VPl2

[Inter Press Service @ipsnews]

Women made up only 7% of negotiators on average worldwide in 2024, and nearly 9 out of 10 negotiation tracks included no women negotiators. Women were slightly more represented in mediation roles, averaging 14%, finds UN report https://t.co/scBRb4VPl2

More than 100 days since the assassination of Iraqi feminist Yanar Mohammed. Justice for Yanar means protecting all women human rights defenders and ending impunity for attacks against them.

🎙️ New podcast episode!

What does it take to build peace in the midst of conflict? I spoke with Yemeni peacebuilding advisor @munaluqman about her journey, women’s leadership in peacebuilding, the impact of war on women & children, & why inclusive peace is essential for change.

[Muna Luqman منى لقمان @munaluqman]

لا يكفي التوصل إلى اتفاقات سياسية لكسر دوامات العنف، بل يتطلب ذلك إعادة النظر في كيفية تصميم هندسة السلام وآليات الوساطة.

سعدت وتشرفت بالمشاركة مع الإعلامية سانية فاروق @sannfarooqui في حوار حول اليمن، والوساطة، ومنع النزاعات، ومستقبل جهود السلام.

ناقشنا كيف أن تحقيق الأمن والاستقرار المستدامين لا يتحقق عبر التسويات السياسية وحدها، بل من خلال عمليات سلام تستند إلى الشرعية المجتمعية، والإنذار المبكر، والعمل الإنساني والتنموي، والاستفادة من المعرفة والخبرة المتراكمة لدى المجتمع المحلي و القبائل، والوسطاء المجتمعيين، والمدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان، والنساء، والشباب، وغيرهم من الفاعلين المحليين، باعتبارهم شركاء استراتيجيين في تحليل ديناميكيات الصراع، والوقاية من العنف، وبناء السلام المستدام، لا مجرد أطراف تتم استشارتها بعد اتخاذ القرار.

كل الشكر للإعلامية سانية فاروق على هذه المساحة الحوارية الثرية، وأتطلع إلى مشاركة الحلقة كاملة قريبًا

[Muna Luqman منى لقمان @munaluqman]

Preventing cycles of violence requires more than political agreements. It requires rethinking how we design peace architecture.

It was an honour to join @sannfarooqui for a timely discussion on #Yemen, mediation, and conflict prevention.

We discussed why sustainable security depends on peace processes that integrate community legitimacy, strategic early warning, humanitarian action, and the knowledge of tribal leaders, community mediators, human rights defenders, women peacebuilders, and other local actors not simply as voices to be consulted, but as strategic partners in shaping lasting peace.

Looking forward to sharing the full conversation.

Why is Women, Peace & Security crucial for UN reform?

As #UN80 moves forward, @sanambna explains what's at stake if #WPS is left out of reform discussions & why this is a critical moment to strengthen, not sideline, the agenda.

Today we publish our 10th annual report on the world’s most Neglected Displacements Crises.

A decade of analysis and reporting on the world’s failure to respond to the suffering of millions of people around the globe.

We have measured donor funding, conflict resolution efforts, and international media attention against the number of people displaced by violence in more than 30 humanitarian emergencies.  

What we found was ten years of entire communities being left to suffer in silence, lives lost, futures destroyed, because we chose not to act.

Neglect on this level is a choice - it is something that governments could chose to end but have ultimately chosen not to.

Donor governments have been presented with evidence of neglect, year after year. Yet those in power still choose to prioritise military and strategic investments and underfund, deprioritise, and sideline the victims of these crises. It is a failure of our humanity.

With rare exceptions, the crises that were ignored a decade ago are still being ignored today. The crises ignored today will demand a larger, costlier and more complex response tomorrow.

The world does not lack for skills nor resources. Be it arranging football World Cups, or pioneering space exploration: our ability to organise and overcome challenges is almost without limit.
We can and must finally take the decision to end the neglect that has caused such deep suffering for millions of people.

Years of conflict in Syria have inflicted profound scars that transcend physical destruction, permeating the psychological well-being of millions, with mental health disorders and suicide rates rising sharply across the country https://t.co/VSs0RxTEcZ

Two weeks into the latest deadly Ebola outbreak, @WHO estimates there are now 906 suspected cases of Ebola in DR Congo, including 223 suspected deaths.

[United Nations @UN]

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is worsening an already fragile humanitarian situation amid conflict, hunger & displacement.

The UN is expanding its response, delivering food, clean water, protective supplies & other vital support for those is need.
