Women's Role in Peace: A Quarter-Century of Progress & Challenges

On November seventh, a significant photo exhibition in Brussels spotlights womens pivotal role in global peace processes, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Despite progress, the UN warns of severe underrepresentation of women in peace efforts, with a recent report showing that nine out of ten peace processes had no women negotiators in the past year. The exhibition, featuring projects like The Female Lens, highlights womens resilience and leadership in conflict zones. The EU pledges additional funding to support womens organizations, but a global backlash against womens rights persists. The anniversary also coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, underscoring the urgent need for renewed commitment to womens rights in the face of new challenges.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
