Abstract:

Malta has appointed its first Ambassador for Women, Peace and Security who will chair the Oversight Committee, bringing together Government representatives, civil society, and academia to monitor and evaluate National Action Plan (NAP, 2020-2024) implementation. Malta’s NAP rests on four pillars: promoting the WPS agenda domestically and internationally, preventing of all forms of violence, increased female participation, and partnership. The Pillar 3 establishes: Increased Participation and Representation of Women at all Decision-Making Levels, including Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding. Malta is very keen on fostering an environment where women are viewed not only as victims of conflict but also as active peacebuilders and agents of change. It is strongly believed that if women are empowered politically and economically, and are given the opportunity to influence decisions, peace and development will become more sustainable. As a country, Malta will continue to support the empowerment of women and girls by increasing opportunities in leadership, access to education and training. The aim is to dismantle every barrier to the empowerment of women and ensure that women and men are given the same opportunities.
