Speaker of the National Assembly Natalia Kiselova will participate in the 15th Summit of Women Speakers of Parliaments and the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments in Geneva, the press center of the parliament announced, quoted by BTA.
Yesterday (July 28) she participated in the first session of the 15th Summit of Women Speakers of Parliaments in Geneva on the topic “The Women, Peace and Security Agenda 25 Years Later: Continuing Challenges and the Way Forward“. In a world facing complex challenges, the full participation of women in all spheres of public life is essential for building a just, sustainable and lasting peace, said Kiselova.
The Speaker of the Parliament stressed that 25 years after the adoption of Resolution 1325, women continue to be largely excluded from peace processes. According to Kiselova, the implementation of the resolution remains fragmented and inconsistent across regions and conflicts, preventing it from reaching its full potential. Natalia Kiselova expressed confidence that cooperation is the foundation of any successful strategy and noted that Bulgaria supports the implementation of a coordinated approach and the building of partnerships to provide the necessary resources, expertise and political support.
The Speaker of the National Assembly Natalia Kiselova will also participate in the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments. She is scheduled to participate in the discussion on the topic of “The participation of women and young people in parliament in times of polarization and trials“.
The forums in Switzerland will be attended by delegations and representatives of the leaderships of the parliaments of 115 countries, six associate members and 14 observers, the press center of the Bulgarian parliament also informed.
