Women, peace and security
The strengthening of women's rights is one of the focal points of Liechtenstein's foreign policy. Special attention is paid to the situation of women in wars and armed conflicts. Thus, Liechtenstein advocates in the United Nations (UN) for the implementation of the "Women, Peace and Security Agenda", which is based on the Resolution 1325 of the UN Security Council from 2000 and its follow-up resolutions. Liechtenstein focuses particularly on promoting women's equal participation at all levels of conflict prevention and in peace and reconstruction processes. Between 2023 and 2027, Liechtenstein is actively contributing to the UN's work in the field of women’s empowerment and for the implementation of the "Women, Peace and Security Agenda” as a member of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) for the second time.
