It was a full house as countries backing the Secretary-General’s #CommonPledge on Women’s Participation in Peace Processes showcased yesterday at #UNHQ how they are moving from commitment to action — advancing women’s meaningful participation in peace and mediation efforts. #WPS

Reflecting on yesterday's @UNDPPA meeting on the Secretary General's #CommonPledge on women's participation in #PeaceProcesses, our Executive Director Chris Coulter shares takeaways from #NewYork. Her insights highlight the urgency of turning commitments into concrete action.

Yesterday, Switzerland joined partners to mark the 1st anniversary of the #UNSG’s #CommonPledge on Women’s Participation in Peace Processes, reaffirming that women mediators and negotiators must become the norm, not the exception, to shape transformative, inclusive peace.

"Peace cannot be sustained without women. Nothing has ever shown us that excluding women leads to better outcomes." Our Executive Director Chris Coulter spoke at @UNDPPA's high-level meeting on the Secretary General's #CommonPledge on women's participation in #PeaceProcesses.

At SG’s #CommonPledge on Women’s Participation in Peace Processes, 🇸🇮 reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring #women not only take part but lead in political &peace efforts.🕊️ By supporting @wphfund, we help creating conditions for their safe, meaningful & effective participation.

Powerful words from Lady Justice Rtd Effie Owuor. We echo the call for all peace actors to turn the #CommonPledge into concrete action. The work of #FemWiseAfrica is critical to ensuring women are at the table, shaping a stronger & more enduring peace across the continent. #WPS

Africa stands not just as a participant, but as a primary architect of the #WPS future. Amb. Edrees, speaking today on the #CommonPledge. He emphasized that sustainable peace is built on the full inclusion and leadership of women. #AU

Germany at SG‘s #commonPledge fully acknowledges the pivotal role of women & girls in conflict prevention and peacebuilding. As the largest donor to the UN Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund, we support women-led organizations globally and promote gender-sensitive peace processes.

"The @_AfricanUnion’s commitment to the #CommonPledge is a direct reflection of our foundational principles and ongoing strategic priorities. Our belief that the full, equal, and meaningful participation of women is a non-negotiable cornerstone of sustainable peace and conflict resolution - enshrined in the AU Constitutive Act, the Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality in Africa, and the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa." - Amb. Mohamed Edrees, at the HL Event on the "Secretary-General's Common Pledge on Women's Participation in Peace Processes"

At today's #CommonPledge event, @MZEZ_RS reiterated its commitment to ensuring women not only take part but lead in political & peace processes. "Through our support to @wphfund, we aim to create the conditions for women to participate safely & meaningfully in shaping peace."

Austria joined the SG’s #CommonPledge on Women’s Participation. Thank you @AminaJMohammed for the call to action! Action matters: We must close the gap and ensure women’s full role in peace processes — still 86% of mediators are men. #WPS is key to our #UNSC 2027/2028 bid.
