Many crises in our world today are fundamentally about power: Who holds it & who is denied it.
Nowhere is the power imbalance more glaring than that most ancient & universal form of inequality: between women & men.
But gender equality isn't just a matter of rights.
It's central to building just & lasting peace.
The importance of women’s participation in peace processes is not symbolic.
They are more likely to endure when women participate meaningfully.
Stability is more achievable when women have equal opportunity to shape the future.
And societies are stronger & more resilient when women & girls can live free from fear & violence.
