Kenya has called for stronger global cooperation to advance the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda during the 81st United Nations General Assembly. At a side event in New York, Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu emphasized the need for practical steps to ensure women are recognized as key actors in peacebuilding.
The discussion highlighted Kenya’s commitment to integrating gender perspectives into conflict prevention and resolution. Njogu noted that women’s participation in decision-making processes is crucial for sustainable peace. The event brought together diplomats and experts to explore ways to strengthen the WPS agenda globally.
Kenya’s push reflects growing international attention to gender equality in security policies. The country has been active in promoting women’s rights and has implemented national strategies to support female participation in peace processes. The UNGA session provides a platform for Kenya to advocate for systemic change in global governance.
The debate underscores the intersection between peace, security, and gender equality. As leaders gather, Kenya’s call for collaboration signals a broader movement toward inclusive and effective global policies.
