Women's equal participation in conflict prevention, management and resolution and in post-conflict peace-building 2004, para. 6 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | To achieve sustainable and durable peace, the full and equal participation of women and girls and the integration of gender perspectives in all aspects of conflict prevention, management and conflict resolution and in post-conflict peace-building is essential.

In this regard, the international community should use lessons learned from actual experience to identify and overcome barriers for achieving women's equal participation. | Commission on the Status of Women | CSW Agreed Conclusions / Declaration |
