Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Statement delivered by Ms. Tekea Tesfamichael,<\/b>
\nPresident of the National Union of Eritrean Women<\/b>
\nduring the 68th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women<\/b><\/p>\n

14 March 2024<\/p>\n

UNHQ, New York<\/b>
\nMr. Chair,<\/b>
\nExcellencies, distinguished delegates,<\/b><\/p>\n

On behalf of the Government of the State of Eritrea and the Eritrean women, I am honored to address the 68th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. The 68th session of the CSW, is conducted under a turbulent environment, where n<\/b>atural disasters due to climate change and environmental degradation have destroyed normal life of many people globally; the undergoing unjust and unnecessary conflict in many parts of the world, where humanity and humanitarian situations have gone beyond the control, resulting in death, displacement, hunger destruction and hopelessness. affecting women and children the most, hence diverting the world\u2019s attention from development and progress to crisis and catastrophes.<\/p>\n

Excellencies, distinguished delegates,<\/b><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s priority theme is \u2018\u2019accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

The strategic approach of the Government of the State of Eritrea in promoting women\u2019s empowerment and equality is guided by these unshakeable principles:<\/p>\n

Excellencies, distinguished delegates,<\/b><\/p>\n

The Government of the State of Eritrea believes promoting gender equality and harnessing the productive potential of women is a necessity not a choice for ensuring socio-economic progress and creating a peaceful and harmonious nation. To this end, it has developed targeted support to women through policies and programs that progressively pave ways for their viable participation in socio-economic development. Despite the efforts, many challenges constrain Eritrea from achieving gender equality, including, discriminatory social norms, institutional capacity, the overall economic level of the country and the effects of unstable regional political developments.<\/p>\n

In the efforts of poverty eradication not limited to poverty reduction,<\/b> is something that the government is committed to tackle. Some of the strategies followed are:<\/p>\n

The progress made in the empowerment of women in the last 34 years of Independence, of course against all odds, is immense. For instance:<\/p>\n

All these above-mentioned tools combined have made great progress in fighting poverty and empowering women and girls at all levels.<\/p>\n

Excellencies, distinguished delegates,<\/b><\/p>\n

By way of conclusion, nothing is simple and easy, we have challenges and constraints, but we are also determined to face them. I pay tribute to all women who fought and continue to fight for gender equality and create a better future for all; and to the Eritrean women whose enormous sacrifices in the struggle for liberation and nation-building have become a defining character of Eritrea.<\/p>\n

Once again, I would like to reiterate that we are committed to work with all partners who have a progressive stand within and beyond the region to make peace and security sustainable and ensure that every child, woman and man enjoys a dignified life.<\/p>\n

I thank you!<\/b><\/p>\n
