Slovakia considers prevention to be the cornerstone of United Nations efforts aimed at peacebuilding and sustaining peace. The women and peace and security agenda, together with the goals of inclusivity and gender equality, definitely fits into the Secretary-General’s broader prevention agenda. The women and peace and security agenda will also be instrumental in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 5 and SDG 16, which recognize gender equality, as well as peace, justice and strong institutions, as a global development priority.
