Op-Ed for the Secretary-General: “A Sustainable Feminist Recovery”

Theme: ‘Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.’

The statement in full is available on the UNDP website.

The world wants an end to the tremendous human suffering in Ukraine, with millions of Ukrainians displaced by the conflict. The situation jeopardizes the safety of all Ukrainians and, as with other conflicts in other parts of the world, puts women and girls in particular at increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence, especially those who are refugees or otherwise displaced from their homes.

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has joined the UN-system wide response to support those affected by the conflict, both inside Ukraine and in the neighboring countries receiving refugees.

In Ukraine, as with many other crisis and conflict contexts, from Afghanistan and the Sahel to Myanmar and Yemen — increasing the full, equal, and meaningful participation of women in peacemaking, conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts is crucial to find lasting solutions.

This approach also holds true when it comes to tackling climate change and environmental degradation; and boosting disaster risk reduction — the theme of this year’s Commission on the Status of Women. Women play a crucial role in the climate and environmental sectors, and they are often leading frontline natural resource management strategies. This makes them well-placed to identify and implement effective and sustainable solutions. Yet environmental degradation and increased competition over scarce resources are exacerbating the risk of gender-based violence while women environmental human rights defenders, including indigenous women, often face threats and violence.

Yet change is possible.

The statement in full is available on the UNDP website.
