In its consideration of the report on the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), the Council should request information on the implementation of the WPS elements in the mandate as per SCR 2100 (OP 25), which includes gender as a key and crosscutting issue for eventual peace and stability in Mali. Further, the Council should specifically seek details on the implementation of the mandate relating to women’s participation in conflict prevention and resolution efforts, as well as protection for women’s rights and efforts to combat human rights violations. Finally, efforts to track and measure progress in Mali should include genderspecific benchmarks and analysis, and, as per SCR 1889 (OP 9), the Council should ensure that women’s empowerment is factored into funding disbursement and post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
