The United Nations Secretary-General has addressed the Security Council, warning that the involvement of women in peacebuilding initiatives is declining across Africa. Mr. Guterres stated that women’s participation is essential for creating equitable and sustainable peace. He noted that while progress has been made, women’s voices are currently significantly underrepresented in shaping security reforms and post-conflict recovery plans. The Secretary-General urged the international community to prioritize women’s involvement and advocated for increased action to enhance their capacity within these vital areas.
