Stronger Together
Event Report | March 13, 2014
Continuing its effort to connect the world’s women leaders–and bring women to the forefront to the global conversation–The Parliamentarians Network for Conflict Prevention released a new event report on momentum-building meetings in Ankara, Turkey and Washington, D.C.
The report highlights the important role the group played in advocating for the successful implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, as well as the significant steps necessary to further empower women leaders.
The network’s crucial role is conveyed through the words of Ambassador Melanne Verveer, executive director, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace & Security. “What you are doing in collaboration is truly remarkable. A network like this is so important, to let your sisters around the world know that they are not alone in their struggle. But that they are the agents of change,” Verveer said.
