Philippines

“The Philippines shall continue on its path to successfully implement the agenda of Women, Peace and Security by highlighting at this session the important contributions of women in peace negotiations and peace building, and their roles in shaping the narratives of peace. We will maintain our active roles in calling for the continued implementation of the CEDAW, the Beijing Platform for Action and the Sustainable Development Goals on women, particularly Goal 5 on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. Taken together, these instruments are powerful mechanisms for realizing national and international commitments to advance women's roles as enablers of sustainable development.”
