Mr. Speaker, whether we are talking about Liberia, or Northern
Ireland, or anywhere else where this world is in conflict, we have
watched women play pivotal roles in advocating before governments, or
before combatants, or in front of politicians, to bring an end to
conflict. In recent years, we have seen armed conflicts flare around the world,
producing the largest number of refugees that we have ever seen on
record. Efforts to negotiate an end to these conflicts are more
important than they have ever been. We know that when women are
included in these discussions, we are more likely to see an enduring
peace as a result.
