Former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan has called on women to deploy their God-given talents to pursue peace in the society.<\/p>\n

She also tasked world leaders to support peace efforts to ensure peace in the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n

Mrs.Jonathan gave the charge while spiking on Saturday during a virtual International Leadership Conference (ILC) organised by the Universal Peace Federation( UPF) tagged: \u2018Toward a Peaceful Reunification of the Korean Peninsula’.<\/p>\n

A statement from the media and communications officer of the Goodluck Jonathan’s foundation, Mr Wealth Ominabo quoted the former first Lady as saying:<\/p>\n

“Women are home builders and constitute majority of caregivers around the world.As critical stakeholders in the peacebuilding process, we must therefore discharge this role with grace, so that together, we can break new grounds and enthrone the world of our dreams.Women are natural peace-builders who play key roles in maintaining peace in our society.<\/p>\n

“We, the women, brought our skills in conflict management and reconciliation to bear on the peace processes that resolved the long-drawn crises in Liberia and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

” This natural capacity of women is recognized by both United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and the United States\u2019 Women, Peace and Security Act of 2017, which give women a crucial role in conflict management.<\/p>

” I therefore call on women organisations to intensify their efforts by deploying our God-given talents on the leadership of North and South Korea to see the need to embrace peace”.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that peace is critical to achieving sustainable development and called on leaders of North and South Korea to commit to peace in the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n

“We call on leaders of North and South Korea, the United States, China, Russia and Japan to support peace efforts.<\/p>\n

“Peace is the fertile ground upon which we can nurture development and progress and build hope for our citizens. North and South Korea should set aside their political differences and come together in the interest of global peace and harmony.<\/p>\n

“They should remember they once lived together in unity, love and happiness. I know that peace in the Korean Peninsula will be a bonus to global development and a boost to world peace”, she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
