Namibia has been commended at the United Nations (UN) for its leadership in promoting the Women, Peace and Security agenda, as the international community marks 25 years since the adoption of Resolution 1325.
Delivering remarks on behalf of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Minister of Gender Equality Emma Kantema reaffirmed Namibia’s continued commitment to gender equality and to ensuring that women play a central role in peacebuilding efforts.
She noted that the recognition reflects Namibia’s enduring contribution to inclusive peace processes and its advocacy for women’s participation in conflict prevention and post-conflict reconstruction.
Adopted in 2000, Resolution 1325 highlights the importance of women’s involvement in maintaining peace and security and urges governments to integrate gender perspectives into all peace efforts.
Kantema said Namibia would continue to work closely with African and international partners to strengthen women’s voices in decision-making and to build societies rooted in equality, stability and peace.
