“Cabo Verde was not yet part of the 1325 movement, as a civil society we will make a strong advocacy with the Government so that Cabo Verde has its plan, only then can we work together, with the national plan and the network plan on this theme, which is mainly the promotion of peace”, she said.
This responsible recalled that Cabo Verde was the only country in the sub-region did not yet have a plan for Resolution 1325 and since Cabo Verde is a region free of armed conflicts, the application of resolution 1325 will be made on the themes of VBG, women’s empowerment, youth and peace.
