The Addendum to CEDAW General Recommendation No 30 on women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations is currently being finalised by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). This addendum aims to address the critical role of women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations, particularly in relation to the Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. The addendum emphasises the importance of women's full, safe, equal and meaningful participation in all decisions impacting their lives, as it is essential for ending conflicts and aiding countries in recovery. The addendum also highlights the need to defend the WPS agenda and push for its full implementation to address the gendered harms caused by conflicts and to ensure equality and justice for women.
