Today, we join Rwandans & international community in honouring the memory of the victims of the Genocide Against the Tutsi as part of #Kwibuka32. Rwanda teaches us that peace and reconciliation are possible—but never given. Keeping the memory alive ensures that “Never Again” is more than a promise.
Kwibuka 32. Remember - unite - renew

Key takeaway: The goal isn’t to merge WPS & YPS. It’s to create synergies that reinforce each other—entry points for coherent, community-responsive peacebuilding & future CSO–UN agenda-setting. #WPS #YPS #Peacebuilding #Youth4Peace #WomenPeaceSecurity #CSOUNDialogue

Speakers stressed: women & young people live at the intersections of all UN pillars. ➡️ Their agendas are transversal by design. ➡️ Synergies between WPS & YPS offer a concrete framework for intergenerational, gender-responsive, community-rooted peacebuilding.
