From "Meaningful participation" to "Intentional Women-Led Mediation". Insights from Intersecting Crises.

Building on the impetus from the Secretary General's New Agenda for Peace, the panel discussion will bring together the members of the Global Alliance of Regional Women Mediator Networks, representatives of Permanent Missions of the UN Member States and the donor community to facilitate an exchange of experiences among women mediators' networks in addressing intersecting crises, such as climate change, intensifying natural disasters, and the recent COVID pandemic. 

Based on shared experiences, participants will jointly explore evidence-based recommendations through which women-led mediation work can be intentionally and effectively supported in policy and practice using the opportunities presented by the annual UNSC Open Debate on WPS, the New Agenda for Peace, and the upcoming 2025 UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR).
