UN rights chief Türk urges women's central role in peace and security

Original: ‘Women are not victims’: Türk calls for women to be at the heart of peace and security

Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has called for women to be placed at the heart of peace and security efforts, stressing that 'women are not victims'. He argued that women should be recognised as agents of change in conflict prevention, mediation and peacebuilding rather than portrayed solely as those affected by war. The remarks come amid ongoing debates about implementing the women, peace and security agenda globally.

Why now: The UN human rights chief's high-profile statement reframes women's role in conflict and peace processes, prompting discussion of the women, peace and security agenda.
