 Thank you very much. And now we will turn to our speakers for any comments. There were a number of questions raised here, so I hope that you all took some notes. I think we will begin with Trisha. Trisha, are you here with us? Yes. Yes. I just want to, okay, I'll address the answers and then say my thanks. There was a question raised about migration, so as some of you may be aware, India suffered from the largest migration crisis during COVID on March 24th, our Prime Minister got up and gave everyone a four-hour heads up to effectively say that lockdown is going to be imposed, the worst kind of lockdown, with all sort of public transportation being shut down, which caused migrants to walk back home. Some walked for thousands of miles. We had horrifying pictures, a lot of people died. So again, it just shows to highlight failed leadership and critically, the lack of access to dignity, not just human rights, but not treating people with dignity. We had contrasting images where repatriation flights were happening, where we were flying back as citizens from foreign countries, and they were being sent to fancy hotels to self-quarantine, and in contrast, some of the migrants were being doused with chemicals used to clean cars after having walked for hours. So this virus has again highlighted how much value do we give to each life? And how much are we treating people with dignity? When it comes to the question about Kashmir, I hear you, there was another question raised about what are the human rights violence crisis going on, the way we are treating our Muslim community and minority community in India is critical. Also I think we need to discuss, when we talk about women's issues, it's gender non-conforming people and the transgender community as well, that has faced a lot of pushback and attacks on their human rights. When it comes to Kashmir, as my colleague from Pakistan would know, we are bound by the similar accord, where both countries, most specifically India, refuses to allow any sort of foreign intervention, even the UN, in matters of Kashmir. So not to say we should not be highlighting human rights atrocities happening there, we have to. This is where as a global community, as you all, a cohort of people that have come together, bound by values, play such a critical role in constantly highlighting the grave inequalities we are facing. I often say, we shouldn't just talk about the North Star, this is what we should be doing. I think it's very important to highlight the inequalities, highlight the human rights abuses. That's why I said, pin the tail of the donkey, because when you spell it and call it out and highlight fails leadership, especially on a global level, is when we can hope to see some sort of change happening on ground. And finally, what I will say is, the conversation about reservation, look, I very much echo what Gabriella said, and Excellency Maria as well, where we're talking about we need reservation. We cannot talk about meritocracy when we have seen the old leadership. If you look at the old leadership, come on, are we really talking about meritocracy when we see the kind of leadership on display that we have? So the only way we will get to the desired results, where these conversations have actual change beyond sanitized walls, it is to push for quotas, quotas for women, quotas for young women within that further demarginization of young women, of gender non-conforming people, of people from the most marginalized communities. And this is where I think historically, the African women have shown exemplary leadership, transgender community has shown exemplary leadership, because they understand that without forced quotas, their issues will not be heard. And this is why we should reject all arguments of meritocracy, because meritocracy has failed our gender. And finally, what I will just say is, thank you. Thank you, Gabriella, thank you, Kristin, thank you, Maria, thank you, madam, thank you all of you, because in my country, where I am currently, it feels sad. We feel like we're leaving too many people behind. And I often wonder what is the impact of these conversations going to have on very real lives that I engage with. And when I hear the kind of formidable commitments being made, when I hear Maria stressing on feminist policy, when I hear Gabriella calling it as it is, demanding for representation of youth leadership. When I see Kristin, you leading parliamentarians bound together by global goals, I sense urgency, urgency, and no more saying of placating to, excuse my language, of which is unparliamentary, no more placating to bullshit. So thank you, and thank you for inspiring me through your words and your history of advocacy and work. I'm so grateful to be here amongst you all speakers. Tricia, we thank you for your leadership and for being, you know, a careless activist and, you know, speaking, as you said, on a global level about the issues that you are facing. This is what we need to do and to help each other to, you know, give that voice a platform. So thank you so much for being with us. And I would like to hear if Silvana, would you like to give just a brief closing remark as well? Thank you very much for this opportunity and thank you for this highly interesting contributions from around the world and getting to, getting more insights into what's happening and the political action taken. I just, I want to flag one crucial element that is testing. And WPL has just, last week, participated with the Health Coalition of the G20 on a seminar which was focusing on women leaders as championing the issue of testing as, as one means to fight the pandemic that we have already at hand. And when I hear, for example, UAE and others, how crucial the tests have been, been a part of the success in fighting the virus. I, I would believe it is sort of a double imperative to make sure that women leaders once more are connected with that because women as health politicians, as crisis managers have also the, the, the history, the legacy and the credibility of, of leaders that look at preventing a peak of a crisis. So make sure that things are under control before we come to just managing the terrible outcomes. And that's something that women have been credited rightly so with for many, many years and is crucial once more in a situation like we have here now. So maybe let me conclude by saying, by echoing everything that has been said about the need of having more women as parliamentarians, as, as political leaders in order to bring the different perspectives, the representation of people and also the, the solutions to unusual situations to the decision making table. And I would hope that webinars like this help by raising awareness for this need. Thank you very much to everybody. Thank you very much, Silvana. And thank you for being with us today. I would now like to go to the floor to Maria for closing remarks, please. Yes, it's this conversation has been so, so energizing. We need a lot of that in this times of, of hardship and very taxing time, especially being in New York since the beginning and having recovered from COVID, which was also a very difficult experience. And I would, you know, there were questions about, quote us, meritocracy and all of that. And, and I think that we do have the responsibility to keep repeating the arithmetic of inequality. It is very important. And it is just not, not only about numbers, as I said before. It's not to even up, you know, even at the numbers. It is about the quality of our political systems. It is about the quality of our democracies. It is about the quality of the decisions we take. It is about, you know, true politics serving the people. And when we are thinking about COVID recovery plan, short-term and long-term, women and girls have to be front and center. And, you know, let's just speak two examples very quickly. We have heard excellent case studies from different countries around the world, which was very encouraging. But, you know, let's look at women and girls with disabilities. One in five women globally face amplified intersectional forms of discrimination and inequality. And that includes women with disability. If you pick gender-based violence, you, you are giving numbers that are staggering, you know. The recovery package and new regulatory frameworks, they have put, they have to put women and girls at the center. Silvana was mentioning the issue of testing, but it is the issue of access to treatment, to be prepared for the vaccine when it comes. It has to be of universal access. It has to be free for all. There's so many happening around the world, but we have to make sure that the 132 million people that are in need of humanitarian protection receive what they, what they need to receive. 132 million, 38 million women, young women and girls require life-saving, sexual and reproductive health services and intervention. So we, we have to continue, you know, putting the numbers forward. And I believe that, you know, the quota system shouldn't be necessary, but it is, unfortunately it is. And in my experience as foreign minister of defense, the first thing I did is to pass an affirmative action policy for women in the military. When I was foreign minister, I passed a policy for women equality and gender parity in the diplomatic service. And that has to do also with numbers, but also with quality, you know. Again, numbers, you know, equate quality. It is not about just having the right numbers. It is about fighting inequalities. It is about having a feminist recovery agenda, a feminist building back better agenda that we have to build together. And I insist, parliaments and parliamentarians have a key role to play in their budgetary allocations, but in also in lawmaking, in regulatory efforts that they are mandated to deliver. So thank you very much for this wonderful conversation and opportunity. And I'm an optimist. And I think that we need to fight unilateralism with more multilateralism. We have to fight selfishness with more and better generosity and cooperation. And I think that that's part of the reason why we are here today. Thank you again to the IPU president, Jeffrey Sachs and the SDSN incredible work and to all of you for today. Thank you very much, Maria. Thank you for being with us. And finally, Gabriela, for your closing remarks, please. Yeah, so I'm sorry, Pumzile and Jeff had to excuse themselves for other meetings. So they will not be sharing closing remarks, but we're pleased to have Gabriela, please. Thank you. Thank you very much, Kirsten. And again, thank you very much, dear colleagues for this wonderful exercise of understanding that the gender agenda, the feminist movement also needs team working, needs synergies, needs to work together with solidarity. Sometimes we forget that the real power of multilateralism is understanding that the multiplicity of voices, having dialogue in the same table is precisely the best option for reaching peace, development, inclusion. And that happens also with the gender agenda. That happens with the women's fight. If we are not working together, coordinated with a good strategy, nothing is going to change or we are going to be very, very slow. Pumzile is not here anymore. She had to run to another meeting, as Kirsten said. But every time that I work with Pumzile and we meet and yes, we understand how important it is, for example, all these wonderful exercises that IPU is doing in terms of building a database. We are monitoring every single country in terms, for example, on the number of women in parliaments, the number of women in cabinets, that's head of state. But if we see that in 1995, there were only 11% of women in parliaments, of seats in parliaments. And now it's 24.5%. Yes, it has doubled. But in 25 years, that is not the rate we need. So that's why we need to work together. We need to understand that solidarity is key to advance in the gender agenda. I would like also to mention, some of you were saying about conflict zones and what's happening in certain areas of the planet. Yes, IPU works in this regard. We have a committee for the promotion of the International Humanitarian Law. So you can reach the president of this committee. It's also a wonderful woman, Agnes Badai. So if you want to talk with her, I can ask her to contact you. So please send me an email or in the chat or however you prefer. But we have this committee. We also have a group of women parliamentarians who are very actively working on which are the best practices within a parliament but also in our communities to change the reality. Allow me to say something very, very fast there because I know that we are running out of time. We need to understand that the only way to change women's reality is bringing women on board in terms of decision-making processes, in terms of building some kind of infrastructure, some kind of habitat for women. We cannot expect women to be, as Marta Taglia was saying, heading 30% of their homes, for example, in our country in Mexico, and ask them to have money to feed their kids, to go to school, to have a job, to take care of their parents. We need to be prepared in terms of legislation, in terms of budget, in terms of policies and create an environment that be able to allow us to be free to fulfill also our dreams in terms of community commitment. The only way that we're going to be, to have our wings and dreams and opportunities is if parliaments and parliamentarians are doing their job, their responsibility. So please, dear colleagues, help us in building a more inclusive, a feminist, a sustainable planet. And thank you, thank you very much to our wonderful colleagues, panelists, guests. Thank you very much for staying with us. Thank you very much for joining and sharing this effort with the UN Sustainable Solutions. Thank you very much for joining also with Kirsten and her new organization, parliamentarians, for the Global Goals with the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the oldest political multilateral organization. We all want to change this planet. Thank you also very much, Silvana, who has been very active, creating also awareness in social media. Maria Fernanda, thank you for leading by example. Thank you very much to all. Thank you, Gabriela, wonderful conclusion. So I won't add much to that. Just remind everyone that we have two more webinars coming up.
