Closing remarks from Peter-Derrek Hof: "The current security situation paints a grim picture, conflicts are deadlier, more complex, and last longer. Civil space is shrinking. We are not talking about #WomenPeaceSecurity enough. Keeping #WPS on the agenda is an urgent task."

#NAP1325

Ruby Kholifah from the Asian Muslim Action Network, Indonesia: "When we do partnership, with governments, donors or cilvil society, we want all of us empowering each other. For that you need trust. Sometimes that means allowing room for failure."

#NAP1325

"The #WomenPeaceSecurity agenda should not only be something we project onto countries such as Mali or Afghanistan. We must also bring these lessons home and ask ourselves what kind of relationship we want between our security services and our society."

6/6

A key strength of the Dutch approach has been co-creation. In the NL @nap1325.bsky.social partners and the @Ministry of Foreign Affairs deserve significant credit for building a process based on partnership. We have learned that we need to recognise that no single actor has the full picture.

“When I arrived in Mali, the peace agreement had been negotiated, but women were not included in the process. Through the #NAP1325, we amplified women's voices. Women were able to engage with the Security Council & increased their representation within the peace agreement mechanisms.
2/6

Koen Davidse, Director General for Policy of the Ministry of Defense at the @whatthewomensay.bsky.social and #Dutch @nap1325.bsky.social event:
"I knew of the importance of the NAP1325 but when I served in Mali I understood how crucial NAP1325 is in conflict related regions."

Sandra: "Their knowledge is not just their experience, it has roots in our society. Women see patterns far before the institutions do. The flags for femicide are obvious, but our institutions are not ready to see them."

Sandra Keijer, director for strengthening the approach to violence against women of the National Police and Royal Marechaussee:

"I would like us as institutions to put the knowledge of women central in our approach. Not only as victims, but as women."

Mirjam Blom, Senior Prosecutor for International Crimes, Dutch National Public Prosecutor’s Office: "Doing a case here can be important for the broader community. We need to take this in account because outreach to the victim community is very important. So is contact with media & NGOs"
