Advancing women’s empowerment contributes to national stability, says DSRSG Walpole at International Women’s Day celebration
Baghdad, 07 March 2019 – International Women’s Day was celebrated today at an event organized by the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women at the Council of Ministers.
The event, which was supported by UN Women and the International Medical Corps, was attended by senior Iraqi government officials, including the two Deputy Speakers of the Council of Representatives, human rights activists, civil society representatives, the international community and many others.
Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) Alice Walpole addressed the meeting, along with Dr. Mahdi Al-Allaq, Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, who represented the Prime Minister; Dr. Thikra Alwash, Mayor of Baghdad and Chair of the Standing Committee on the Advancement of Women; UN Women’s Representative, Ms. Dina Zorba and UNFPA Representative, Dr. Oluremi Sogunro; as well as the Director-General of the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
In her remarks, DSRSG Walpole welcomed the upcoming discussions in Parliament on updating the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. “We need to acknowledge that domestic violence diminishes and shames all of society; it is a threat not just to women but to society itself,” she emphasised.
Reflecting on the challenges facing displaced women across Iraq, DSRSG Walpole noted that “They continue to suffer the brutal consequences of the recent conflict”.
“Female-headed households should be prioritised in accessing public services,” she said, and called on the Ministries of Defence and Interior, and the National Operations Command, to “to ensure that secure clearance mechanisms are coordinated among security actors to minimize re-screening of individuals already screened; and to consider removing security clearance requirements for civilians who have not been charged with a criminal or terrorism-related offence, so they do not face obstacles in accessing public services, including civil registries and courts”.
DSRSG Walpole also noted the high unemployment rate amongst young women, which is double that of men. She called on the government to “offer small business grants to female entrepreneurs to help them into the business arena, in particular to women returnees in the liberated areas, and those heading households”.
“Advancing women’s economic empowerment in this way will contribute to the government’s efforts to achieve national stability,” she noted.

IRD Continues Balkans Stability Initiatives with Kosovo Cultural Heritage Project
www.ird.org/what/stories/kosovo_CulturalHeritageProgram_1...
International Relief and Development (IRD), a major implementer of U.S. foreign assistance and a leader in the international stabilization and development community, has been awarded the Kosovo Cultural Heritage Project to help restore and preserve the Republic of Kosovo's cultural heritage and foster community understanding and cooperation.
"IRD's first programs assisted vulnerable communities in the Balkans region as they suffered through conflict in the 1990s," said Dr. Arthur B. Keys, President and CEO of IRD. "We have a long-term commitment to the stability and development of Kosovo and the entire region. The Kosovo Cultural Heritage Program is one of many projects IRD has undertaken to foster understanding and tolerance while preserving structures of international significance."
As Europe's youngest nation, born of the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, Kosovo continues to experience unrest and even conflict. IRD's Kosovo Cultural Heritage Project, funded by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Pristina, Kosovo, seeks to protect important sites and, in the process, create opportunities for dialogue and cooperation in order to foster social unity and stability. IRD will lead the restoration of three cultural heritage sites in the Prizren region: the Sheh Zade Old House in Prizren, the Church of St. Stephen in Velika Hoca/ Hocee Madhe, and the Church of St. Nicola in Bogosevci-Prizren.
Praia/Dakar, 16 May 2011 – A regional conference on « Elections and stability in West Africa » will take place from 18 to 20 May 2011 in Praia, Cape Verde.
This goal of this conference is to analyze the impact of electoral processes on the stability of West Africa and their implications on conflict prevention, democracy and peace consolidation.
Taking into account the fact that despite the significant progress observed in organizing peaceful and credible elections in Africa, electoral processes remain vulnerable social and political events during which tensions and sometimes violence occur, the regional conference intends to examine the main challenges to the political stability of electoral processes and to formulate a set of practical and innovative recommendations in order to assist the West African states, especially those where elections are scheduled to take place between 2011 and 2013.
The regional conference will provide an opportunity to evaluate the implementation of the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and good governance ten years after its adoption, and to analyze objectively recent elections held in West Africa. The conference will then consider critical issues such as the financing of elections, the functioning of the electoral commissions, the management of electoral disputes, the role of the media and of the security sector, human rights and gender issues as well as the support of the UN and of the international community as a whole to electoral processes.
Around one hundred participants from different backgrounds will participate in the conference, including high-level personalities and representatives of governments, electoral commissions, Constitutional Councils, security forces, media organizations, civil society and regional organizations.
The conference is organized under the aegis of the UN Office for West Africa (UNOWA), in partnership with with the Government of Cape Verde, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and with the support of the UN Department of Political Affairs and its Electoral Assistance Division, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), the Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF) and the European Union (EU).

May 3, 2016: Over the last six months, risks to global financial stability have risen, according to the International Monetary Fund’s April 2016 Global Financial Stability Report. In advanced economies, the outlook has deteriorated because of heightened uncertainty and setbacks to growth and confidence. Disruptions to global asset markets have added to these pressures. Declines in oil and commodity prices have kept risks elevated in emerging markets, while greater uncertainty about China’s growth transition has increased spillovers to global markets. These developments tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, and raised credit risks, weighing on financial stability. The situation in markets appears significantly improved, but is the turmoil of the past months now safely behind us, or is it a warning signal that more needs to be done to secure financial stability? The IMF’s April 2016 GFSR addresses this key question and many others.

The role of the United States in the Horn of Africa has clearly illustrated its desire for instability and sectarian division so that the imperialist regime, along with its allies, will be able to continue the exploitation of Africa's land, waterways and resources. The resistance of the Somali masses has not been defeated despite a US-sponsored Ethiopian invasion and the direct bombing by the United States military.

Kut, Iraq, 28th July 2019 – At a three-day workshop from 25th to 27th July 2019, in the city of Kut in Wasit Governorate, a group of 27 young Iraqi women and men from across the Governorate discussed how youth can play a role in addressing the challenges facing their communities. This was the sixth in a series of workshops under the theme “Iraqi Youth: Pioneers for Dialogue and Stability”, which are taking place across Iraq throughout 2019, organised by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), in cooperation with the Committee for Coexistence and Societal Peace in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Iraqi Al-Amal Association.
During the workshop, the group discussed a number of challenges identified as important by youth in Wasit. These included social cohesion and peaceful coexistence; youth unemployment and job opportunities; women’s empowerment and protection of vulnerable women; improvement of health services in the Governorate; and strengthening the social responsibility and accountability of oil companies operating in Wasit.
On the third and final day, an interactive session was held with the representative of the Governor of Wasit and a number of local politicians, in which the issues identified by the youth were discussed.
Mr. Khalid Elsawi, from the Office of Political Affairs, speaking on behalf of UNAMI, emphasized the key role of youth in building a peaceful and sustainable future Iraq, which will meet the aspirations of all its people. This cannot be done without the political, social and economic participation of young people.
The activity is in line with UNAMI’s mandate to support youth and their valuable contributions to Iraqi public life.
Similar workshops were recently organised in Basra, Karbala, Babil, Anbar and Najaf.
