I wanted to say that we very much share the very strong support, Deputy Secretary-General and Ambassador Mohammed, for your visit. I think this has been fantastic venture in highlighting the centrality of the the Women, Peace and Security agenda to African peace and security. And I very much endorse what others have said today about the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in Somalia’s upcoming elections. One about girls education: how can we make sure that increased investment in girls education translates into women’s economic empowerment? And what more support do you think women mediators and civil society actors need so that they can strengthen their participation in political dialogue?
