Second, Women remain acutely under represented women in peace negotiations. And they are often marginalised in efforts to build sustainable peace. Fewer than one in five peace agreements contain specific provisions on women's rights and needs.

We welcome the Secretary General's report of women's participation in peacebuilding as an important step in that direction.
