#BREAKING
In a third round of restricted ballot, UN General Assembly ELECTS 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan as a non-permanent member of the Security Council for a two-year term beginning in January 2027.
In her briefing at the @UN Security Council, @unwomenchief called for stronger attention to financing of the #WPS agenda in all contexts of drawdowns of UN peace operations, to sustain gender equality gains and accelerate the implementation of WPS commitments. @PaiviKannisto
Good to be in Brussels to serve as Co-Chair for the EU-UN Director’s Lunch on #WomenPeaceSecurity alongside @StellaRonner.
It is a critical time to boost support for women in #conflictprevention & #peacebuilding - we can not let conflict turn back the clock on women’s rights.
The EU-@UN_Women partnership is vital to addressing gender inequality as a driver of conflict & to promoting women’s leadership for peaceful societies.
Glad to connect with @StellaRonner & @EricaGerretsen to reaffirm that women's rights must remain at the center of our action.
Always a pleasure to join dialogues of women peacebuilders. Heartbreaking stories from frontlines, but at the same time so much inspiration, expertise and wisdom for peaceful solutions and inclusive recovery processes. @MavicCBalleza@gnwp_gnwp@PaiviKannisto
"Women are at the frontline to deliver, they are taking risks to provide for their family and thus often exposed to fighting/ shelling" Listen to an update on #Sudan from @unwomensudan Country Representative,

Today, Peacebuilding Commission convened a mtg on women, peace & security in peacekeeping settings: #PBC called for tangible support to women-led peacebuilding efforts and the mainstreaming of gender perspectives into policies & actions undertaken at the country & regional levels
Having both uniformed women and men peacekeepers on mission not only increases operational effectiveness but also improves the mission’s image, accessibility, and credibility with local populations.- @PaiviKannisto briefing the @UNPeacebuilding Commission on #WPS
At the @UNPeacebuilding Commission meeting, @PaiviKannisto stresses the critical role of women peacebuilders and human rights defenders in building peace. Their analysis, unique experiences & knowledge should be informing the work of the UN, donors and other peacebuilding actors.
Today is #InternationalMountainDay🏔, which is celebrated annually on 11 December. Let’s raise awareness about the importance of mountains, their people and their incredible biodiversity! #MountainsMatter
We must invest in creating safe & enabling environments for women peacebuilders @regner_asa stated at the @UNECOSOC-PBC meeting. Women human rights defenders are targeted w/attacks that silence their advocacy & prevent from participating in public life @UNPeacebuilding@UN_Women
At the @UNECOSOC - @UNPeacebuilding Commission meeting, @regner_asa stressed that when women are included in decision-making and crisis response, they expand the impact, accelerate economic recovery, prevent conflict and create more sustainable peace and development for all.
Congrats to @UNPeacebuilding Fund team for a successful mid-term review and re-assured strategies for inclusive peacebuilding. @UN_Women stands ready to support and cooperate
