Content_paragraphs:  Marking its tenth anniversary, the Religious Track of the Cyprus Peace Process, 
  
  under the auspices of the Embassy of Sweden, continued its role of upholding the 
  
  commitment of the religious leaders to peacebuilding and reconciliation, responding 
  
  to cases of vandalism and provocation at places of worship and issuing public 
  
  statements counteracting displays of hate with calls for religious freedom, coexistence 
  
  and peace. A principal concern of the religious leaders remained the present and future 
  
  status of their places of worship and the continued lack of proper maintenance and 
  
  protection for those places, in accordance with the principles of the right to freedom 
  
  of religion or belief. In addition, to mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender -
  
  based Violence campaign and the twentieth anniversary of Security Council 
  
  resolution 1325 (2000), the Religious Track focused on women’s rights and equality, 
  
  including through a webinar on the theme “Violence against women and girls, 
  
  freedom of religion or belief and gender equality”, held on 23 November in 
  
  cooperation with the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights of the 
  
  Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
