In an era when opportunities and knowledge abound, we find that women's potential contributions to conflict resolution processes have not been adequately harnessed. That represents an enormous deficit in our common efforts.

Thus, widening the opportunity for women's participation at various stages of peace and conflict resolution processes demands our continued full support.
