We recognize that peace is inextricably linked with equality between women and men. One of the most important issues to be addressed with regard to women and armed conflict remains women's participation in conflict resolution and the negotiation of peace agreements at the national and international levels. In the same vein, we recognize that women's equal participation in decision-making at all levels is key to better advance and address the specific needs and concerns of women.
