25 years after landmark UN resolution, UN chief says women are too often absent from peace talks

UNITED NATIONS: Twenty-five years after a landmark UN resolution demanded equal participation for women in all efforts to promote peace, the United Nations chief said Tuesday that far too often women remain absent. At the same time, sexual violence against women and girls is on the rise and 676 million women live within 50 kilometers (30 miles) of deadly conflicts, which the head of the UN women’s agency says is the highest number since the 1990s.
