Dear #GenerationEquality ,

Are you ready for 8 March, International Women's Day? We cannot wait to celebrate it with you!

Here's some #IWD2020 info to prepare: unwo.men/gTXC50yqTJx

Best,
Your sisters in arms

Learning from 6 #Colombian #womenleaders in my #DC conference room – describing details of their roles in civil society & government, expressing their views of #DerechosHumanos : #Security is not just the right to be alive, but the right to life w dignity. U.S. Institute of Peace Meridian International Center

2 steps forward, 10 steps back. A peace process is an exercise in learning. Six women in my office depicted polarization & emotion they saw in #Colombian negotiations. First 5 yrs are the most difficult; most peace agreements fail. @GenderatState Inclusive Security OAS

It’s not a wave, it’s a #SeismicShift ! Mexico felt a rumble that’s reshaping the global number of women in politics & policy-making. Female leaders are key to decision making & I look forward to watching #GenderParity advance in #Mexico &beyond UN Women Inclusive Security CFR Women & Foreign Policy

Staggering statistic from the Council on Foreign Relations: Since women are more than 1/2 the global population, gov’ts should reflect that proportion. In a tiny number of countries, there’s been a #SeismicShift of women in politics, but there’s more & more & then more to do

Marking 20 years of #SecurityCouncil Resolution
#UNSCR1325 . What “involving women in all peacebuilding” has meant in #Rwanda , where after catastrophic genocide #women have played a huge role helping their country not only heal but also soar UN Women
