Yesterday, @marcgarneau convened a meeting about Canada’s National Action Plan on #WomenPeaceSecurity – to make sure we’re following through on commitments, adapting to challenges, & looking ahead.
It was remarkable for many reasons. A thread: 🧵

The head of every National Action Plan partner was there:

The meeting was a frank discussion & exchange among leaders – not a public event.
(The public part is happening too - The government tabled a progress report in Parliament today & will share an independent assessment of the Action Plan when the report is complete.)

75 years ago, @UN was founded to unite the world to confront the challenges facing all of humanity. With growing inequality, climate crisis, #COVID19, toxic nationalism, and ongoing conflict - it is clear that the promise of the UN remains as important as ever. #UN75
We celebrate the @UN #UN75. Its humanitarian efforts have saved lives, it has brokered and kept peace in conflict areas around the world, promoted #HumanRights, and created & championed an agenda for sustainable development. #PeaceDay #GlobalGoals
But @UN's promise remains unfulfilled. Globally, #WomensRights are being rolled back, women human rights defenders are under attack. 25 yrs since the Beijing Declaration, & 20 yrs since UNSC Res. 1325, govts aren't meeting commitments to #WomenPeaceSecurity & gender equality.
