A Pakistani diplomat addressed the United Nations Security Council, highlighting that seven out of ten women killed in conflicts last year were in Gaza. She described the dire conditions faced by Palestinian women, including bombings of homes and hospitals, displacement, and famine, calling these deliberate crimes that require accountability. The diplomat also drew attention to the suffering of women in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sahel, and Indian-administered Kashmir, criticizing their exclusion from peace processes and the rising rates of conflict-related sexual violence. She urged the United Nations to set binding targets for women's participation in peace efforts and reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to promoting gender parity and accountability in conflict zones.
