STATEMENT OF ESTONIA, October, 2015.

The year 2015 has given the international community an unparalleled opportunity to reiterate the importance of the implementation of women’s and girls’ rights. We are celebrating today 15 years since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) and, recently, 20 years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform of Action. In addition newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (resolution 70/1) encourage us to take a look at how women are affected by each of the 17 Goals.
