Today we mark 24 years since the adoption of the United Nations’ Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
Across the globe, women are at the forefront of responding to crises and conflicts, leading their communities, and shaping pathways to peace.
Yet, in every conflict, we see how women and girls continue to face unique challenges that cannot and should not be overlooked.
We see this very clearly in Ukraine.
Ukrainian women play an indispensable role in resisting Russian aggression on the frontlines. And in driving their nation forward during the most difficult of times.
Women’s leadership, perspectives and contributions are critical to how we respond to security challenges.
Across all areas – from strategic planning and decision-making, to military operations.
NATO’s mission is to preserve peace across the Euro-Atlantic and keep all our people safe.
To do this, the Women, Peace and Security Agenda is essential.
We strengthened this agenda at the Washington Summit in July. Where NATO leaders endorsed an updated Women, Peace and Security policy.
This will further integrate gender perspectives across all that NATO does in the coming decade.
From deterrence and defence, to cooperation with our partners around the world.
At the same time, we continue to strive for more gender-responsive and accountable leadership.
For women’s equal and meaningful participation in peace and security.
And for the full protection of women and girls against all forms of gender-based violence.
I urge all NATO leaders and personnel – political and military – women and men – to champion gender equality in their work.
For NATO, for me, the Women, Peace and Security Agenda is so much more than a commitment.
It is about who we are and what we stand for as an Alliance.
