In her introduction Bircan stated that “This event aims to support and create awareness on the United Nations Security Council Resolution #1325 on Peace, Women and Security in correlation with the concept of Secularism, which is the missing key component of the #1325 framework. It also aims to introduce the SDGS#5, 16 and 17 to the general public in conjunction with the #1325 towards the attainment of the 2030 Development Agenda.”
Jonathon Cummings, the Partnership Manager for the World Human Accountability Organization spoke on the topic of SDG 17. Mr. Cummings asserted that “SDG 17 is the most important SDG because it represents a collective effort by member states committed to advancing the sustainable development goals to work together to support everyone for the collective good for human development.” Mr. Cummings concluded his speech by saying “If we care about advancing human development, if we care about equality, if we care about achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, then we need to run this race together—because when you want to go fast, go alone, when you want to go far, go together. How far do we want to go?”
