Chad: advocates seek women’s and youth roles in peacebuilding
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In Bol, Chad, a meeting at the Culture House brought together organisations to encourage local leaders to include women and young people in peace processes.
Organisers held the event to promote United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 2250, which focus on women, peace and security, and youth, peace and security. The groups presented these international agendas as practical tools for building peace within local communities.
They aimed to shift perspectives, recognising women and young people as active contributors to dialogue, conflict prevention, and social cohesion, not just as recipients of aid. Several organisations participated, including FAD, Féministes Paix et Sécurité, People Change the World, Jiakonia, Gorée Institute and Salama Peace Initiative.
Through this advocacy, the groups hope to connect the UN resolutions with the daily lives of communities and gain greater support from local officials for women’s and youth’s involvement in decisions about peace and security.
