Скачать или смотреть PLENARY SESSION 4: WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP ON THE G20 AGENDA 2025 AND PRIORITIES FOR THE AFRICAN UNION

The African Union, interfaith alliances and networks, and G20 actors share a deep common commitment to action on women’s empowerment. This demands consistent focus on women’s voices and priorities. It is linked to action to assure the welfare and development of children and youth. Protection from harm demands attention to the stubborn issues of violence against women, in times of war and conflict and peace.

Women’s roles in peacebuilding calls also for active engagement with women from religious communities. The incessant demands that Africa faces in 2025 must address in tandem the urgent calls of hunger, climate shocks, violence, displacement, and xenophobia, and in every case engaging women can enrich understanding and point to creative and effective action.
