Today's #16Days reading, Navigating the Perfect Storm: Leveraging Gender-Responsive Climate Justice for Peace and Security was written by Chloé Silvestre & Rabab Rabbani #WPS #WomenPeaceSecurity wpsn-canada.org/2025/12/10/1...

Bold white type on a yellow background reads: Climate change remains insufficiently integrated into WPS programming as an operational priority.

Bold white text on a yellow background says: While Canada claims its firm commitment to the WPS agenda and broader human rights approaches, our domestic and foreign policy often invisibilizes the systemic inequities and historical legacies that continue to negatively impact racialized women.

More #16Days reading from Anne Delorme and Sarah Keeler: Invisible No More: Women with Disabilities in the #WomenPeaceSecurity Agenda #WPS wpsn-canada.org/2025/12/08/1...

Bold white text on a yellow background says: Another critical obstacle to advancing the rights of women with disabilities within WPS is the paucity of disaggregated data. Without detailed information distinguishing women and girls with disabilities from other groups, policymakers lack a clear understanding of their specific challenges, needs, and contributions. In lighter white text it says, Anne Delorme and Sarah Keeler.

Bold white text on a yellow background says: To genuinely implement WPS, Canada must demilitarize its Indo-Pacific Strategy and ensure that it follows Resolution 1325 and fulfills the Beijing Platform for Action. A new IPS must aim to enhance the security, humans rights, and well-being of women and girls on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. In lighter white type it says: Tamara Lorincz.

Today's #16Days reading comes from Beth Woroniuk: Resourcing #CNAP3: Hallucination or a Plan with a Budget? wpsn-canada.org/2025/12/02/1... #WPS #WomenPeaceSecurity

On a yellow background, bold white text says: "Despite the ongoing recognition that to be effective, WPS NAPs require dedicated resources and costed budgets, CNAP3 fails to meet this global standard." In lighter white text it says, Beth Woroniuk.

A yellow background with white text that says: "Canada’s CNAP3 will ultimately be
