“To achieve a sustainable future, we need a concurrent basis in strong institutions, in solidarity, justice and social development, with a more targeted approach to marginalized groups, including women's empowerment, as well as a strong respect for the environment and innovative growth.”
“Earlier today, Croatia, as PBe Chair, and in cooperation with UN WOMEN, organized a high-level ministerial meeting on women's economic empowerment in peace-building. This meeting emphasized the critical role of women in peacebuilding processes and the fact that empowering women in the economy is essential for realizing women's rights and achieving broader development goals.”
“Nowadays we witness all around the world how heavy the toll in armed conflicts and wars is. In any humanitarian crisis, those paying the highest price of the conflict are civilians, especially women and children.”
“Croatia will continue focusing its donor activities on gender and child-sensitive issues, on maternal health and prevention of mortality in children aged under five as well as on enhancing girls' education.”
