flag Women remain excluded from peace talks despite global promises, with rising conflict and funding cuts worsening their plight.

flag Twenty-five years after UN Security Council Resolution 1325 called for women’s inclusion in peace processes, UN leaders warn women remain underrepresented in negotiations despite global commitments. flag UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous highlighted that 676 million women and girls now live near active conflicts—the highest number since the 1990s—amid rising military spending, armed conflicts, and escalating sexual violence. flag While some progress has been made in regions like Haiti, Chad, and Syria, funding cuts are undermining critical services including education for Afghan girls, medical care in Sudan and Haiti, and food access in Gaza, Mali, and Somalia. flag Leaders stressed that lasting peace requires full inclusion of women in decision-making, accountability for sexual violence, and sustained investment in women’s organizations.
