The Women, Peace and Security Network – Canada (WPSN-C)’s latest publication, WPS at 25 and Canada’s CNAP3: Feminist Reflections on Progress and Gaps is edited by Katrina Leclerc, Sandra Biskupski-Mujanovic and Sarah Keeler
Today’s #16Days reading is Chapter 2: Renewing the Commitment: A New WPS Ambassador Urgently Needed by Bénédicte Santoire and Beth Woroniuk.
Canada took an important step with the appointment of its first Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Ambassador in 2019. Jacqueline O’Neill played a key role advising ministers on WPS issues and coordinating the second WPS National Action Plan (CNAP2) implementation across all departmental partners. Given that no replacement has been named, her departure leaves a huge gap.
Watch this excerpt from the publication launch, as Bénédicte talks about the chapter she and Beth contributed.
