#PeaceDay is a call to action. 🗣️

25 yrs after #UNSCR1325, women peacebuilders are still underfunded, unrecognized, & at risk.

Our demands:
🔁 Localize peacebuilding
💰 Secure flexible financing
🛡️ Protect women defenders
👩🏽💼 Appoint a feminist woman UN SG

Peace cannot wait. Watch & Repost

This #PeaceDay, we celebrate the women around the world who are building it from the ground up. Their work is essential, yet too often overlooked.

Today, we amplify📣 their voices.

📣 True democracy isn't just about ballots. It's building sustainable peace.

And that is impossible without women's full & equal participation.

This #DemocracyDay🗳️, we push for the #WPS agenda as the essential blueprint for a feminist peace. 🕊️ Democracy falters where women are excluded🚫.

We are deeply grateful🙏 to GNWP’s Board of Directors for their invaluable guidance and steadfast commitment to advancing the #WPS and #YPS agendas.
