\u201cMarch 8 is a significant day for all women and girls worldwide. It is a moment to celebrate their success and progress while reflecting on how we can overcome the challenges they face,\u201d Mudavadi said.<\/p>\n

He urged everyone to join in honoring the women and girls in their lives, calling on the public to celebrate the day with mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters everywhere.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the critical intersection of gender, peace, and security, noting that women are key players in achieving societal goals, especially in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen must be at the forefront of peace and security processes. Their voices should be central in resolving conflicts and nurturing societies in peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Prime CS stressed the urgency of addressing systemic barriers that hinder women\u2019s full participation in both personal and professional spheres.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to accelerate action to achieve gender equality and break down biases and stereotypes,\u201d Mudavadi stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alarming increase in violence against women calls for immediate action and revitalized commitments from decision-makers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that women continue to suffer disproportionately from internal and external conflicts, with violence and marginalization often targeted at them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen bear the brunt of conflict, climate change, and social inequality. It\u2019s crucial to amplify their voices, especially at the grassroots level, in shaping peace and security efforts,\u201d Mudavadi emphasized.<\/p>\n

He further called for the sustained engagement of all stakeholders\u2014governments, civil society, and international partners\u2014in the fight against GBV.<\/p>\n
