SUMMARY:UNAOC Fellowship Alumni Event: "Engaging women in peacebuilding\, conflict mediation  and the prevention of violent extremism"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations\n Violent extremism and conflict are transnational threats to global stability which can virtually affect every human being\, without distinction of nationality\, ethnicity\, religion\, ideology or gender. Across the UN system\, there has been growing awareness that addressing these challenges requires a multi-dimensional and a whole-of-society approach focused on prevention. However\, the importance of adopting gender-sensitive frameworks is often overlooked\, despite some undeniable progress at global policy level through the advancement of the UN agenda on Women\, Peace and Security. Nevertheless\, today\, women are still almost totally excluded from formal peace processes\, while gender stereotypes and grievances are frequently manipulated and exploited by violent groups to enhance recruitment. In that context\, UNAOC and the Permanent Mission of Germany to the UN are inviting sixteen young professionals and civil society leaders from Europe\, North America\, the Middle East\, and North Africa\, to share their recommendations on the meaningful inclusion of women in mediation efforts and in the prevention of conflict and violent extremism. Following an interactive format\, they will exchange good practices to harness the power of media\, youth engagement\, civil society and religious dialogue to support women in becoming champions of peace. All participants are UNAOC Fellows.  \nInterested in attending?

SUMMARY:The Annual Kofi Annan Faith Briefings
DESCRIPTION:“Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality: the role of UN and Multi-Faith Collaboration” \nThe UN Interagency Task Force involves 20 UN system entities\, each participating at different levels of intensity within the Task Force. The one thing these otherwise very diverse UN offices share is their engagement with religious actors\, and/or their awareness\, and action\, around religious intersections with their respective organizational strategic	objectives. \nSince 2010\, the UN Interagency Task Force Members have been convening policy roundtables\, workshops\, seminars\, and joint initiatives around key UN intergovernmental fora (CSW\, CPD\, HLPF\, and UNGA)\, around religion and religious engagement\, and several reports\, policy outcomes and initiatives are produced as a result of these consultations. \nIn 2018\, the UN Interagency Task Force convened the first-ever United Nations Multi-Faith Advisory Council (AC). The Council is composed of the CEOs of the UN’s top global faith-based partners. The AC is committed to “uphold multilateralism and international human rights through multi-faith collaboration around/for Agenda 2030”. The CEOs of the FBOs were selected according to nominations from across the UN system entities members of the UN Interagency Task Force. To date\, each major faith tradition	is represented on the Council. \n\nDue to the combined rising relevance of religious actors on the geopolitical scene\, and the systematic engagement of many FBOs around sustainable development and humanitarian related initiatives in\, around and by the UN Task Force\, a larger number of NY and US-based NGOs are also attending HLPF-related initiatives. In other words\, these are human\, technical\, cultural and political resources “walking the UN’s corridors”\, at this time. \nThe purpose of the Kofi	Annan Faith Briefings is: \n1. To provide a dedicated and ‘regular’ space\, during a key intergovernmental moment (in this case the High-Level Political Forum/HLPF) capitalizing on the unique constellation of geopolitical and socio-cultural human capital\, well-versed in religion and religiously related affairs\, which is capable of informing\, and being	informed by\, UN	system	deliberations. \n2. To uphold the importance of strategic partnerships by the UN system with faith-based and faith-inspired civil society actors\, around the world for specific SDGs; \n3. To present and assess the diverse range of partnerships between different faith entities and between them and the UN and its member states\, as a means to realising the SDG goals; \n4. To thereby showcase the multi-faith civic support for multilateralism which is dedicated to the service of human rights\, sustainable development and peace and security. \nClick here to read more.
