La d\u00e9l\u00e9gation syndicale pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 New York, aux Etats-Unis, est compos\u00e9e de 150 femmes dirigeantes syndicales issues de 34 pays du monde, un nombre sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. La d\u00e9l\u00e9gation de l’Internationale de l’Education (IE) \u00e0 la 60\u00e8me session de la Commission de la condition de la femme des Nations Unies (CSW60) a rejoint les autres d\u00e9l\u00e9gations de f\u00e9d\u00e9rations syndicales internationales pour la premi\u00e8re semaine des d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations de la Commission (du 14 au 18 mars).<\/p>\n

Nora Fyles, Responsable du Secr\u00e9tariat de l’Initiative des Nations Unies pour l’\u00e9ducation des filles (UNGEI). Fyles a donn\u00e9 une courte pr\u00e9sentation portant sur le th\u00e8me \u2018Policy Advocacy: UNGEI Speaking Out for Girls\u2019 Education\u2019 (plaidoyer politique: l’UNGEI s’exprime pour l’\u00e9ducation des filles), qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 suivie d’une conversation avec les d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9es de l’IE au sujet des activit\u00e9s de plaidoyer de leurs syndicats respectifs sur le th\u00e8me de l’\u00e9ducation des filles et autres probl\u00e9matiques li\u00e9es au genre et l’\u00e9ducation.<\/p>\n

Plus tard dans la journ\u00e9e, les d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9es de l’IE ont rejoint la d\u00e9l\u00e9gation syndicale dans son ensemble pour une s\u00e9ance d’information lors de laquelle les d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9(e)s nouveaux\/elles et aguerri(e)s ont re\u00e7u des informations concernant la premi\u00e8re semaine de la CSW60, ainsi que sur les \u00e9v\u00e9nements pr\u00e9vus par les f\u00e9d\u00e9rations syndicales internationales, l’Organisation internationale du Travail et les principaux alli\u00e9s parmi les milliers d’organisations des droits des femmes actuellement pr\u00e9sentes \u00e0 New York pour assister \u00e0 la CSW60.<\/p>\n

Le th\u00e8me prioritaire de la CSW60<\/a> est l’Autonomisation des femmes et lien avec le d\u00e9veloppement durable; et le th\u00e8me examin\u00e9 est l’\u00c9limination et pr\u00e9vention de toutes les formes de violence \u00e0 l’\u00e9gard des femmes et des filles (conclusions concert\u00e9es \u00e0 la CSW57<\/a>). Le th\u00e8me prioritaire est auspicieux car la CSW60 est le premier \u00e9v\u00e9nement majeur des Nations Unies \u00e0 se d\u00e9rouler depuis que l’agenda pour le d\u00e9veloppement durable 2030 a \u00e9t\u00e9 convenu, et les nouveaux objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable<\/a> ont \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9s en septembre 2015. La CSW60 repr\u00e9sente donc une occasion unique de rassembler la communaut\u00e9 du genre et de l’\u00e9ducation pour un dialogue autour des liens entre l’objectif de d\u00e9veloppement durable 4 sur l’\u00e9ducation et l’objectif de d\u00e9veloppement durable 5 sur l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes.<\/p>\n

Le mercredi 16 mars, en collaboration avec la mission de la Norv\u00e8ge aupr\u00e8s des Nations Unies et l’UNGEI, l’IE organisera conjointement un \u00e9v\u00e9nement parall\u00e8le<\/a> intitul\u00e9 \u2018Financement de l’\u00e9ducation: une cl\u00e9 pour l’autonomisation des femmes et des filles\u2019. La pr\u00e9sidente de l’IE, Susan Hopgood, prendra la parole, ainsi que Tone Skogen, la Ministre adjointe des Affaires Etrang\u00e8res de Norv\u00e8ge, Geeta Rao Gupta, Directrice ex\u00e9cutive adjointe de l’UNICEF, Meighan Stone, Pr\u00e9sidente du Malala Fund et Justin van Fleet, Directeur de la Commission internationale sur le financement des opportunit\u00e9s \u00e9ducatives dans le monde. L’\u00e9v\u00e9nement sera anim\u00e9 par Yannick Glemarec, Directeur ex\u00e9cutif adjoint Politique et Programmes d’ONU Femmes, et les remarques introductives seront offertes par Alice Albright, Directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du Partenariat mondial pour l’\u00e9ducation.<\/p>\n

Does the UN advance equality for women?<\/a><\/p>\n

The following article by Lyndal Rowlands in the Inter Press Service<\/a>, suggests that the UN is not making much progress on its commitments for women’s equality:<\/p>\n

2015 marks anniversaries for two significant commitments made to increasing women\u2019s participation at peace tables.<\/p>\n

Yet despite the Beijing Platform for Action and the Security Council Resolution 1325 both committing to increasing women\u2019s participation in peace building 20 and 15 years ago, respectively, there has been very little progress to report.<\/p>\n

The latest available statistics show that women made up only 9 per cent of negotiators at peace tables between 1992 and 2011. That the most recent data is from 2011 shows that more work is needed even in basic areas such as data collection and reporting of women\u2019s participation in peace building.<\/p>\n

IPS summarises here four reasons we should value women\u2019s participation at the peace table more, based on discussions at the 59th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) over the past week.<\/p>\n

Beijing Platform for Action Section E<\/p>\n

Women and Armed Conflict Diagnosis<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.1. Increase the participation of women in conflict resolution at decision-making levels and protect women living in situations of armed and other conflicts or under foreign occupation. Actions to be taken.<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.2. Reduce excessive military expenditures and control the availability of armaments. Actions to be taken.<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.3. Promote non-violent forms of conflict resolution and reduce the incidence of human rights abuse in conflict situations. Actions to be taken.<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.4. Promote women’s contribution to fostering a culture of peace. Actions to be taken<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.5. Provide protection, assistance and training to refugee women, other displaced women in need of international protection and internally displaced women. Actions to be taken.<\/p>\n

Strategic objective E.6. Provide assistance to the women of the colonies and non-self-governing territories. Actions to be taken.
\nWomen Bring Commitment and Experience to the Peace Table
\nOften the first people invited to participate in formal peace negotiations are the people holding the guns and the last are women who have expertise in building lasting peace.<\/p>\n

Zainab Bangura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, told a CSW side event on Tuesday last week, \u201cIn the Central African Republic, the only community where they were not killing each other was a community where the Christian women said, \u2018These Muslim women are our sisters.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy? Because the women in the community said, \u2018We have lived together for the last 100 years\u2019,\u201d Bangura said.<\/p>\n

In the Phillipines, Irene Santiago was a member of the government panel that negotiated peace with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Santiago came to the table with years of experience working with Christian, Muslim and Indigenous women leaders for peace.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a CSW side event at the International Peace Institute (IPI) on Thursday, Santiago said that she knew that her years of experience working with civil society for peace stood her in good stead to make a significant contribution to formal peace negotiations, which she did.<\/p>\n

Speaking with IPS, Santiago said women\u2019s voices not only have to be heard, but that they also have to be acted on.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor women. It\u2019s almost never always about themselves, it\u2019s always about our children, our husbands but also about our communities,\u201d Santiago told IPS.<\/p>\n

In Africa, women have fought to be included in peacemaking, even when their contributions have not been recognised.<\/p>\n

Bineta Diop, Special Envoy on Women Peace and Security to the African Union, says that mediators need to be held accountable when they only invite the people who hold guns to the peace table and ignore women\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been involved in many crises where women were knocking at the door and saying we want to be at the table,\u201d Diop said.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Anwarul Chowdhury, known as the father of Security Council Resolution 1325, said that the determination of African women to be involved in peace negotiations should be seen as an inspiration by other countries.<\/p>\n

Despite serious difficulties, war and conflict, African women have shown continued determination to hold their countries accountable, Chowdhury said.<\/p>\n

Gender Equality in Peace Time Prevents Conflict
\nAlso speaking at the IPI, Valerie Hudson, co-author of \u2018Sex and World Peace\u2019, said that her research has shown that the way women are treated within a country is one of the most accurate indicators of the quality of relations that country will have with other countries.<\/p>\n

Diop agreed with Hudson, saying that countries that are likely to fall into conflict have higher levels of discrimination and inequality.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscrimination against women, especially the non-participation and non-inclusion of women in democracy is \u2026 one of the root causes of the conflict,\u201d Diop said.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Choudhury agreed with these sentiments, telling IPS, \u201cI believe that no country can claim that their country is not in conflict if women\u2019s rights are denied, if women\u2019s equality is not ensured, if women\u2019s participation at all participation levels is not there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that if we women are violated, if women\u2019s equality of participation is not there we cannot say that we are at peace, we are in conflict with ourselves. This is a conflict which is happening within ourselves and within the countries. We don\u2019t have to go into the traditional description of conflict, civil conflict or fighting with another country,\u201d Chowdhury added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Youssef Mahmoud, Senior Adviser at the International Peace Institute also speaking at the IPI event said, \u201cA world where 51 per cent are ignored is a dangerous world for everyone. I can\u2019t imagine why any men would be indifferent to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women Are Active In Civil Society
\nSeveral discussions at the CSW questioned why militaries were the primary actors in peace building, while non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society\u2019s expertise was not called on.<\/p>\n

\nWomen Walk for Peace in the Korean Peninsula
\nSantiago told IPS that civil society, especially women, have a lot to contribute to humanise, to concretise, and to make peace negotiations relevant to people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Winnie Kodi from the Nuba mountains in Sudan told reporters on Monday that civil society was vital to helping indigenous communities like her own that have been affected by conflict. She said that the main way her people were able to have their voices heard was by working together with NGOs and civil society.<\/p>\n

Chowdhury told IPS he is advocating for the U.N. and governments to hold more consultations with civil society, saying that the involvement of women and of civil society is very important.<\/p>\n

Santiago also called for renewed focus on the important role of NGOs in the area of women, peace and security,<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain I see that why are we focusing on the UN as the locus of change,\u201d she said. \u201cTo me it is not, it is the means, it is an important audience, but it is not the locus of social change.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us form the global civic networks that we need to bring about the local global and civil change that we need\u201d Santiago said.<\/p>\n

Women Challenge The Causes of Conflict
\nChallenging militarism and militarisation was another theme discussed during the first week of the CSW, particularly by civil society groups at the parallel NGO forum.<\/p>\n

Choudhury told IPS that increased militarism and militarisation is slowing down efforts for equality. \u201cIncreasing militarism and militarisation has really been effecting women in a very negative way. This is something that women should stand up against, we should all stand up against,\u201d Chowdhury said.<\/p>\n

Militarisation is also affecting indigenous women and men. Maribeth Biano, from the Asian Indigenous Women\u2019s Network, told reporters on Monday that Indigenous women are hugely affected by militarisation in Indigenous territories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
