A very rich and fruiftul discussion on the need to consider the gender impact of climate insecurity and leverage the contribution of women to address it, as well as the fundamental role of women mediator networks.
Bringing her experience from MWMN Cyprus Antenna, Sophia Papastavrou reminds us that uniting women mediators is the entry point for dialogue and cooperation, since women mediators networks engage with local communities to tackle intersecting challenges and bring new approaches to diplomacy. In her closing remarks, Loredana Teodorescu, Head of the MWMN, observes that when women are empowered they play a pivotal role to sustainable peace. Showcasing what women do, through women mediators networks, make them visibile and that is why there is the necessity of a systemic change that includes more space and opportunities for women, dedicated funds and synergies.
