Ambassador Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Pictet-Althann and First Secretary Silvia Vandi participated at the Workshop on &#8220;The role of women in De(radicalisation) in Africa&#8221;, taking place at the NATO Joint Force Command Naples. During her <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1F-pkPRxY3N5_uJOk1WjAWgOWCkZfT9WlkyCQngn90Yw\/edit?usp=sharing\">speech<\/a>, the Ambassador underscored the critical role of faith and women in countering radicalisation and promoting peace. She outlined, how religion, while often manipulated to serve as a divide, may serve as a unifying factor through the role of women in interfaith dialogue. Furthermore, the Ambassador noted with concern that women remain underrepresented in formal peace processes, despite their crafting of &#8220;powerful counter-narratives rooted in shared humanity and forgiveness&#8221;. In addition, she presented three concrete propositions to harness the power of women in faith-based approaches to mediation. To conclude, Ambassador Pictet-Althann reiterated that women are crucial protectors of human dignity, whose moral authority and leadership are essential aspects for peace-building efforts. Therefore, she called for the structural inclusion of women as mediators, changemakers, and agents of peace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2829\" src=\"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/250701_nu_hub_the-role-of-women-1012-q4jHK5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(L to R: Ambassador Pictet-Althann; Ms. Irene Fellin, NATO Secretary General&#8217;s Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security; Lt.
