2023
Women and girls in armed conflict and protracted crises meaningfully participate in peace and security processes, from formal peace talks to local peacebuilding efforts, advocate effectively for women’s rights and gender equality in prevention and reconstruction efforts, and benefit from the implementation of WPS commitments across the Arab States region
Progress under this outcome is on track. During the reporting 117 women and young women peacebuilders, human rights defenders and activists from the region, increased their capacities, and accessed knowledge and networking opportunities to enable their active participation in peace and security issues in the region. Moreover, 2 regional research partners have benefitted from technical and financial support, to ensure timely, evidence- and data-based knowledge on WPS continues to be generated in and from the Arab Region. These partnerships focus on producing policy papers and case studies on issues related to women's participation in peace and transition processes in the region. Partners also undertake consultations with women peace actors, support the organization of UN Women regional convenings and undertake capacity building initiatives for women peacebuilders. Additionally, national stakeholders enhanced their capacities for the implementation of the WPS agenda at the country level in 5 countries in the region. National stakeholders across the region benefitted from technical support through UN Women’s regional programming, for the development, adoption and implementation of National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325. To achieve these results, UN Women continued to support the meaningful participation of women and girls in peace and security processes in the Arab region through 1) knowledge production on WPS issues in the region, 2) direct capacity building support to women and young women involved in peace and security, 3) strategic partnerships with regional and global stakeholders to strengthen the implementation of the WPS agenda in the region. Additionally, UN Women supported national stakeholders in the implementation of the WPS agenda regionally.
