“The competition captures women facing conflicts face to face. Women participating in de-mining operations, women monitoring ceasefire violations, and women heading election committees. There are many ways we could describe them. We can easily call them strong and resilient, because that is simply how they are,” stated Miroslav Lajčák.

On 24 June, the Slovak OSCE Chairmanship launched a photo exhibition titled Women, Peace and the OSCE. The exhibition showcased the work done by women across the OSCE region to promote peace and stability and to prevent conflict. It was comprised of entries to an Instagram photo competition organized by the Slovak OSCE Chairmanship. The competition took place from April to May 2019 and participants from OSCE participating States submitted photos showing how women across the region mobilize efforts for building peace. Photos displayed in the exhibition also reflect the important work being done by OSCE missions on the ground to advance Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
