She called on member states, including Eswatini, to support this initiative.<\/p>\n<p>President Nandi-Ndaitwah underscored the vital role of women in shaping the region\u2019s future, urging SADC to set a global example for gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>The International Women\u2019s Peace Centre, established by Namibia, is dedicated to championing UN Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted in October 2000 during Namibia\u2019s presidency of the Security Council. The resolution recognises women\u2019s critical role in peace processes and calls for their equal participation in conflict prevention, resolution, and post-conflict reconstruction. The Centre aims to promote peace, protect women\u2019s rights in conflict and post-conflict settings, and advance women\u2019s leadership across SADC and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNamibia is deeply committed to the empowerment of women, and my presence here today stands as testimony to that commitment,\u201d President Nandi-Ndaitwah said. \u201cWomen play a vital role in our societies, economies, and in shaping the future of our nations and region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President appealed to SADC member states for collaboration, urging institutions to partner with the Centre to strengthen peace foundations and empower women as active agents of change. For Eswatini, this initiative offers an opportunity to enhance its own efforts to promote gender equality, particularly in rural communities where women drive agricultural and economic development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Eswatini<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
