This is a significant piece of work. Lessons learned including from local actors re barriers to and practical recommendations for meaningful participation by women in peace & conflict resolution. Timely too, given the reduced space & funding for inclusive approaches #WPS #UNSCR1325

An engaging discussion @sipri on pathways out of the unfolding catastrophe. Ending the violence against civilians and meeting urgent needs are priorities; this requires more responsible international engagement, and more coherent & supported mediation to define a political roadmap.
