00:00We are unfortunately fated to listen to the delusional tirade of Pakistan against my country.
00:05A country that bombs its own people, conducts systematic genocide, can only attempt to distract
00:09the world with misdirection and hyperbole. This is a country that conducted Operation Searchlight
00:14in 1971 and sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens
00:21by its own army. The world sees through Pakistan's propaganda.
00:25President, at the outset, I congratulate Russia on assuming the presidency and thank the
00:30Russian Federation as the president of the Council for holding today's open debate on
00:34the topic of women, peace and security. I thank the Secretary General and other briefers
00:39for their presentation. As we gather today to mark a quarter century since the adoption
00:43of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, we celebrate not merely an anniversary, but a transformative
00:49moment that fundamentally reshaped our understanding of peace and security, recognizing that sustainable
00:56peace cannot be achieved without the full and equal participation of women.
01:01India's commitment to this principle, however, predates its resolution by several decades.
01:06India has consistently contributed to UN peacekeeping as an expression of our commitment to global
01:11peace. What distinguishes India's peacekeeping legacy is not merely the scale of our contribution,
01:17but our pioneering recognition of women as indispensable agents of peace.
01:21As early as the 1960s, much before the adoption of Resolution 1325, India deployed women medical
01:27officers to the Congo, making one of the earliest instances of women serving in UN peacekeeping
01:32operations. This was not merely a symbolic gesture, but a practical acknowledgement that women's
01:37perspectives, skills and presents are essential to effective peacekeeping. This early commitment
01:44found its more pronounced expression in 2007 when India deployed the first ever all-female
01:49formed police unit in the history of the UN to Liberia. This groundbreaking initiative went
01:54far beyond enhancing security. It catalyzed a transformation in Liberian society, inspiring local women
02:01to join law enforcement and participate actively in rebuilding their nation. The unit reduced crime rates
02:08while simultaneously demonstrating that women could serve as both protectors and role models. This initiative
02:16was indeed a game-changer. India's leadership in championing women peacekeepers is exemplified
02:22through the appointment of Dr. Kiran Bedi, the first woman officer of the Indian Police Service,
02:27as the first ever female police advisor and head of the United Nations Police Division in 2003.
02:32Today, over 160 Indian women peacekeepers serve in the field, and all women female engagement teams
02:39have been deployed in Democratic Republic of Congo, Abiyai in Sudan and South Sudan.
02:45The recognition accorded to Major Suman Gawani, who received the UN Military Gender Advocate Award in 2019
02:51for her work in South Sudan, and Major Radhika Sen in 2024 for her contributions to the Democratic Republic of
02:57Congo are testaments to India's unwavering commitment to the WPS agenda. We believe that it is no longer
03:04a question of whether women can do peacekeeping. Rather, it is whether peacekeeping can do without women.
03:11Through these deployments, India has demonstrated the profound impact of women peacekeepers in peacekeeping
03:16operations. They will trust in communities, give hope to vulnerable populations, particularly women and children.
03:23Most critically, they help address gender-based violence and ensure that peace processes reflect
03:27the needs and perspectives of all segments of society. They inspire women in conflict zones
03:32through examples that they too can be leaders and protectors. In the words of our external affairs
03:37minister, Dr. Jayashankar, women peacekeepers are messengers of peace. Recognizing that this transformation
03:43must extend beyond our own contributions, India has invested significantly in capacity building,
03:49particularly for women peacekeepers and those especially from the Global South. The Center for
03:55UN Peacekeeping established by the Indian Army in New Delhi has become a center of excellence,
03:59training over 12,000 troops annually. In 2016, the Center launched a special course for female military
04:05officers training 72 women officers from 39 different troop-contributing countries that year.
04:11This flagship course equips women peacekeepers with essential skills in operational planning,
04:17protection of civilians, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, and gender-sensitive
04:22leadership. We have also dispatched mobile training teams to several nations worldwide.
04:28I am happy to recall that in February 2025, India hosted the International Conference on Women
04:33Peacekeepers from the Global South, bringing together women peacekeepers from 35 nations.
04:38This two-day gathering examined the evolving challenges facing women in peacekeeping operations,
04:42from addressing sexual exploitation and abuse to leveraging technology for enhanced effectiveness.
04:48The conference was not merely a forum for discussion, but a platform for developing actionable
04:52strategies to increase women's participation and their impact in future peace missions.
04:57More recently, in August 2025, India hosted the UN Women Military Officers course,
05:02which saw a participation from 15 countries.
05:04President, every year we are unfortunately fated to listen to the delusional tirade of Pakistan
05:11against my country, especially on Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian territory they covered.
05:16Our pioneering record on women peace and security agenda is unblemished and unscathed.
05:20A country that bombs its own people, conducts systematic genocide, can only attempt to distract the world
05:25with misdirection and hyperbole. This is a country that conducted Operation Searchlight
05:32in 1971 and sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens
05:39by its own army. The world sees through Pakistan's propaganda.
05:43President, as we look ahead, India remains unwavering in its commitment to the Women,
05:48Peace and Security agenda. We stand ready to share our expertise with partners,
05:53particularly those in the Global South, fostering collective solutions to share challenges.
05:58Thank you, President.
