A Shared Global Vision for Women and Peacebuilding: 3rd Annual Sheikha Fatima Lectureship
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 23/02/2018

This lectureship highlighted the significant work around the world to achieve "A Shared Global Vision for Women and Peacebuilding.” In 2015, countries and regional organizations celebrated the shared milestones of several landmark initiatives, including the 15th anniversary for both the Millennium Development Goals and the passing of U.N. Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. Building international peace and security requires women’s participation and leadership. It is critical to celebrate these moments, while also taking stock of progress. The lectureship highlighted key areas of impact and pushed for continued effort in reaching these shared global visions.

As part of USIP’s focus on building the role of women in the peaceful resolution of conflicts worldwide, the Institute named the series of commemorative lectureships for Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi, the wife of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder and First President of the United Arab Emirates.
