Conciliation Resources' partner, Rosa Emilia Salamanca, Executive Director of Corporación de Investigación y Acción Social y Económica (CIASE) in Colombia will be a keynote speaker at a high level forum organised by the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and UN Women in New York on 3 September. The event will provide a platform for outstanding women leaders to reflect on and share their everyday peacebuilding experiences and recommendations for the international community.
This special event will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and of the Cairo Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development. It will also contribute towards the 2015 High-level Review of Security Council Resolution 1325.
The discussions will be collated in a joint PBC/UN Women publication Women, Everyday Peacebuilders, which will include life stories of the panellists and other exceptional women leaders who have contributed to peacebuilding in their countries.
This is the second time in six months that our partner Rosa Emilia is invited to speak at a high level conference at the United Nations.
The commission will be chaired by H.E. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Permanent Representative of Brazil to the United Nations and Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women.
