Luxembourg
Country: Grand Duchy of Luxembourg February 14th, 2013.
Institution: The City School Senior Girls P.E.C.H.S
Name: Syeda Romaiza Ibad
Topic A.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the country with 100% women literacy rate, having the best prevention of HIY and Aids plus a strong supporter of the multinational organization is deeply concerned about the conflict of women’s role in peace and security.
Luxembourg recognizes the widening gap between the rich and the poor countries where people are being treated differently and it remains committed to the protection of human rights and in UN Women it is currently supporting the implementation of women, peace and security. My county feels that the government of any nation should act as an instrument of people and protect their fundamental rights regardless of their gender or nationality. Luxembourg has vested interest in the rights of women and eliminating the violence taking place against them.
There's a force out there called women which is there to make a new community and a peaceful society and which can tap and make things better. We the people Luxembourg are looking at the root causes of this issue and addressing very seriously to come to a peaceful environment. Talking about war and terrorism we have understood that at this time we should be living with peace but instead we are living in insecurity. These inequalities, politics and culture are not just that leads to war; it's actually the way they are mobilized according to groups and identities. Women are treated as the weapon of war, they are the worst victims and it's not just to harm the women but to harm the people of that specific area and also their men. What we believe is that those people who are treating women as a minority and treating them harshly shouldn’t be given high power jobs and political statuses. Humanitarian workers are being killed all around the world and we the people of Luxembourg have made sure that the women are given the right

    Militarism is being globalized today. Certain ideas about "femininity" and "masculinity" are being promoted and absorbed globally. According to Enloe (2007), talks about how woman soldier and New woman undermined supposition about biology, respectability, and womanliness, and in this way brought up new discomforting issues about the roles and benefits of men. Women soldiers join other women soldiers around the world and when they meet they compare notes to discuss the continuing barriers women soldiers face when looking for promotions or respect. Cynthia Enloe open the eyes of a significant number of us to the role gender plays in universal legislative issues. She concentrates on the routes in which globalization and militarization nourish off each other, showing once more that considering women' lives important is one of the keys to solid clarifications of how the world…

    A woman is a sword. She is struck by unseen blows and thrust into suffocating flames—repeatedly. She is tempered by her hardships and emerges as a sword, to strike fear in the hearts of her enemies. With men assuming positions of power and prestige throughout the ages, women have been overlooked. They are criticized as the weaker sex and are treated worse than children in some non-Western nations. Their ideas cry unheard and their dreams go unsung. However, as we move into the modern era, women are rejecting their traditional standing as man’s shadow. With this revolutionary refusal, women around the world are burgeoning into their full potential.…

    I attended the event Gender, Economic development, and Armed conflicts on Wednesday, April 6th 2016. This event was presented by Jennifer Olmsted. A brief overview of this event was that it regarded major points that had a strong correlation to women including the causes of war, the different categories of conflicts, the impact of these conflicts, the gender roles that take places within them and sexual reproductive rights. I believe the primary goal of this event was to further educate the attendees of what conflicts are taking place. I believe it is crucial to provide this information so, college students are able to act further on instances that they see such as rape. I believe it was very wise to make this connection with college students…

    Basically saying that equal rights are applied to men, women, girls, and boys. Within the document women are considered victims of specific human rights, violations (i.e. human trafficking and rape). The UN draws attention to these harmful, illegal acts in another document called, Thematic Human Rights. In the Conference Document it again says that it is illegal to have gender-based violence. This document incorporates the firm dialect not allowing the violence on other genders and it emphasizes on the aid from states to fight all ways of violence against women and girls. The Conference Documents introduces the International Consensus on the issue regarding Violence against…

    I chose to write an essay about the differences in the view on women and their rights, in EU compared to the other male-dominated cultures. And how did EU achieve such a view we have on women today, compared to the western countries, where women are extremely suppressed? It is almost impossible to find the answer of these questions, because so many factors are playing a role.…

    Instilling a genuine essence of peace throughout a world plagued by violence, war and insecurity cannot be done without the empowerment and utilization of half of the world’s population. For far too long peace negotiations have ceased to utilize women’s valued experiences and voices throughout the process. The U.S. National Security Strategy notes, “experiences shows that countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women are accorded full and equal rights to opportunity.”1 The United Sates must be a strong hold in ensuring dedication to proactive and responsive efforts promoting security and resolutions to conflict while helping rebuild societies that foster liberty and justice for all. In October of 2000 the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 as the international community made a stand for recognizing women’s dynamic and important, yet underutilized, contributions to ending conflict and ensuring peace.2 Since it’s implementation, multiple countries and regional bodies launched National Action Plans and policies that upheld the goals of the international effort. On the 10th anniversary of Resolution 1325, in December of 2011, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, announced the United States’ commitment to a National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security that was signed by President Obama as Executive Order 13595.3 Since the NAP’s release multiple policies and legislative action on Capitol Hill have been put into order as reinforcement to the United States’ commitment to the essential effort of empowerment and sustained, equitable peace.4 In the wake of economic and political instability, elevated violence and deadly conflict in transitioning Nations in the Middle East and around the world, it is critical to stress the importance of the U.S. Government maintaining the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security for lasting and just peace.…

    the German Government also works to bolster women’s rights in its foreign and development policy, both bilaterally and in the context of such international organizations as the European Union and the United Nations, among others. Sexual abuse, trafficking in women, domestic violence, forced marriage and genital mutilation are human rights violations which affect women and children almost exclusively. In addition, traditional values, roles and behavioural patterns often lead to women being specifically disadvantaged as regards their economic, cultural and social rights – such as access to food, education or health care. Women and girls are also particularly subject to the effects of (civil) war, refugee movements resulting from conflict, and sexual violence and rape, which are increasingly being used as a “weapon” of war. Women often suffer multiple discrimination, disadvantaged not merely due to their gender but also because they belong to an ethnic or social minority, or on the grounds of their sexual orientation (multiple violation of human rights). Improving women’s human rights therefore remains a central element of the German Government’s human rights policy, encompassing not only domestic policy as it related to women but also foreign and development policy.…

    The UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women (1993) states that "violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full advancement of women, and that violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men.”…

    ''Women's rights are human rights'', averred the Unites States Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton. The realisation of women's rights is a world-wide struggle based on universal human rights and the rule of law. Most women of today's generation enjoy multiple rights that act as a determinant factor in making them be on a par with men. Evidently without the emancipation of women, perhaps today we would still be living in a world where patriarchy is prevalent and women considered as ‘the inferior gender’.…
