Last week, we joined @EU_Partnerships, @eu_eeas, @BelgiumMFA & @POLAND25EU to mark 25 years of the Women, Peace & Security agenda. One message is clear: The WPS agenda reminds us that peace isn’t just the absence of war. It’s the presence of justice, equality, and inclusion.

From Sudan to Gaza, Afghanistan to Haiti, @UN_Women stands with women's organizations around the world in their urgent call for funding. No steps back.
Women’s rights are under threat. Funding cuts are pushing women’s organizations in crises settings to a breaking point. Half may shut down in 6 months. Women and girls can’t afford to lose these lifelines. Join the urgent call for sustained funding:

It’s a wrap! . At #25YearsOfWPS, one message stood out: there is no sustainable peace without gender equality. 25 years after #UNSCR1325, the vision is strong but progress is uneven. To build lasting peace, women must be fully involved, so fund it, measure it, deliver it.

Women’s voices are essential for lasting peace. Equal participation in peace and security isn’t optional, it's a powerful policy. It's time to make this happen. #WPS25Brussels
