PGA Congratulates Co-Convenor of Peace & Democracy Program, Dip. Margarita Stolbizer (Argentina), on being named by United Nations as a Major Contributor to Disarmament from Latin America.

Coinciding with the celebrations of the UN International Day on the Elimination of Violence against Women, UNODA’s Regional Disarmament Centre in Lima (UNLIREC) launched a new publication aimed at maintaining international momentum in progressing towards women’s empowerment in the security field.

The UNLIREC publication entitled “Forces of Change II: Recognizing the contribution of Latin American and Caribbean Women to Disarmament” pays tribute to the women who capture the essence of resolution 65/69 adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2010 on women, disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control.
