Address by Kathryn Jones, Head of Far-Western Regional Office, UNMIN At the Opening of the UNFPA/UNMIN Women and Peace Process Street Theater Project
Abstract:
"I am very pleased to welcome you here today, to launch Naya Adhyaya (A New Chapter), a joint United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) and United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) street theatre project on women and the peace process performed by Sarwanam Theatre. I am especially happy that the national launch of Naya Adhyaya is taking place in Dhangadhi: rural communities in the regions throughout Nepal were hit the hardest during the 10-year conflict, and there is a particular challenge ahead in building peace and promoting recovery in those areas. The full involvement of women in rural communities, villages and towns in the Far-Western region together with others across the country will be vital in meeting that challenge and ensuring lasting peace in Nepal..."

Address by Kathryn Jones, Head of Far-Western Regional Office, UNMIN At the Opening of the UNFPA/UNMIN Women and Peace Process Street Theater Project
Abstract:
In establishing UNMIN earlier this year, the United Nations Security Council expressly recognized the need “to pay special attention to the needs of women, children and traditionally marginalized groups in the peace process, as mentioned in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.” The United Nations, including UN agencies and UNMIN in Nepal, is committed to the equality of women and men, and to helping overcome obstacles to women’s participation in all aspects of public life. In 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325, which calls for the participation of women at all levels of peace processes. Nepal, as a proud and long-standing Member State of the UN, has a responsibility to implement Resolution 1325 in its own peace process. As United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted in his recent report to the Security Council, Nepal’s peace process is at a crossroads. Political leaders at the national level have a heavy responsibility to the people of Nepal to ensure that the peace process is put back on track through the dialogue that is currently underway. But local leaders and communities also have a very important role to play. As we know, peace cannot be built only by political decisions made in Kathmandu. The implementation of recent Parliamentary declarations and other agreements by the Government and political parties provide a great opportunity to increase women’s participation in public life and their contribution to the peace process. For example, in June 2006, the newly reinstated Interim Legislature-Parliament declared that 33 per cent of all positions in decision-making bodies, at all levels, would be filled by women. Political parties have committed that 33 per cent of the candidates on their lists for the Constituent Assembly would be women. A similar commitment has been made in relation to women in the civil service. It is important that these commitments are fulfilled at the local and national level. There are opportunities to implement these commitments here in the Far-Western region. The police were planning to recruit an additional seventy thousand personnel for securing the Constituent Assembly election. There are discussions about establishing local peace councils or committees. It is essential that women from all walks of life including: Dalits, Tharus, Freed Kamaiyas, Muslim women and other minorities, as well as those from higher castes, are fully represented in those bodies. UNMIN understands the challenges of ensuring this level of inclusiveness – but it is vital for making sure that there is broad-based participation in the peace process by all Nepalis.
