Second day of #ArabWomenMediate conference organized by @TheElders @WiltonPark gathering more than 60 feminists from around the world to push for effective implementation of #WPS2020

Women equality needs to be impeded in national laws. There are still many countries that do not include this principles in their national legislations. This is true for #Yemen #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

It is important to ensure intersectionality of women and men representatives in the peace process. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

Double standards exists even after women secure political gains. Men ministers have more privileges including security detail while women ministers are not given the same. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

Violence against women is increasing because there is no end of impunity. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

Women existing should be recognized and accepted by authorities, political leadership, by UN. Ensuring meaningful inclusion of women and support women peacebuilders. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

Suggestions to use co-mediation as a temporary measure to achieve parity. A mediation mission will have two mediators a woman and a man to mediate a peace process. Doubling the skills to achieve peace. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

There is importance to have equal modalities of including women to the drafting process of peace agreements. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

There is also a need to look into the private diplomacy, back channel meetings, shuttle diplomacy to include women. #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

Independent delegations for women in Track I are important because forcing women to bring their agendas through existing negotiation parties lead to the politicalizing of the issues and risk the integrity of women groups #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020

There is a need for appreciating individualism, plurality, and unique experience of women and men in peace processes #ArabWomenMediate #WPS2020
