The UN's work in the area of women, peace and security “cannot be successfully implemented unless the primary drivers that contribute to the worsening circumstances of women and girls,” such as wars, extremism and resources diverted to arms spending are addressed.
Archbishop Caccia recalled that"over the past few years, violence—including sexual violence—against women and girls has increased, while women’s representation in peace processes has declined, demonstrating that the current approach is falling short."Approved unanimously by the UN Security Council on 31 October 2000, Resolution 1325 is the first ever measure to explicitly mention the impact of war on women and their contribution to conflict resolution for lasting peace.
The permanent observer then recalled the words of Pope Francis in his January address to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See: “'When human rights are fully recognized for all, women can offer their unique contribution to the life of society and to be the first allies of peace.
He also noted that the primary factors contributing to the worsening conditions for women and girls,"include not only conflict—such as the abhorrent war in Ukraine and oft-forgotten conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, but also extremism and the diversion of ever more resources towards arms expenditures, including for nuclear weapons, whose effects disproportionately impact women and girls.
