STATEMENT OF THE UN WOMEN, October, 2015.

I would like to conclude by highlighting the fact that today, as we continue this discussion, has to be seen as a day of a paradigm shift. There was a time before the 15- year study and there will be a time after the 15- year study. That means that we are changing gears in the manner in which we are doing our work, and we support the work of the women and peace and security agenda. We need strong, decisive, united action in order to make sure that 16 years after the adoption of the resolution, 17 years after the adoption of the resolution, but long before we have reached 30 years after the adoption of the resolution, we will be able to talk about having achieved a great impact in the implementation of the resolution and the active participation of both men and women in peacemaking and in conflict prevention.
