Minister Hassan from Stockholm: Women should become more confident, achievers
17-5-2019
The minister of interior, Raya Hassan, said women are still underrepresented in security sector and in peace processes in the world despite the huge developments in this respect. She stressed that women’s participation in building peace is key for the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs), particularly Goal 16 devoted for promoting the existence of peaceful and inclusive societies, provision of access to justice for all and the building of effective and accountable institutions at all levels. Hassan’s remarks came during a round table on ‘Women in Leadership for Sustainable Peace’ that was held on May 15 at the Swedish Foreign Ministry, on the sidelines of the Stockholm Forum organized by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Hassan said that without women’s engagement in decision making, world countries will not be able to achieve sustainable peace, adding, “Without this, we will not be able to achieve sustainable development.” She pointed out that there are structural and political challenges that ought to be addressed, calling on all women to enhance their self-confidence and ensure their ability for accomplishment.
