Abu Mughli emphasized the central role of education in promoting peace, equality, and social cohesion, and highlighted the contribution of Palestinian women in leadership and decision-making despite ongoing challenges. She also underlined the importance of ensuring women’s meaningful participation in peace processes, in line with the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
