War affects over 600 million women and girls, UN says
UNITED NATIONS — More than 600 million women and girls are now affected by war, a 50% increase from a decade ago, and they fear the world has forgotten them amid an escalating backlash against women’s rights and gender equality, top U.N. officials say.
The U.N. chief was assessing the state of a Security Council resolution adopted on Oct. 31, 2000, that demanded equal participation for women in peace negotiations, a goal that remains as distant as gender equality. “As long as oppressive patriarchal social structures and gender biases hold back half our societies, peace will remain elusive,” he warned.
