Nevertheless, Nuraa Women's Institute believes that conflict and war are the main factors that inhibit aforementioned efforts. As we have stated in our open letters, women and children continue to become the one group that are mostly impacted by wars and conflicts. Thus, these action plans can only be realized fully when the conflicts and war can be solved. 

.

Going forward, Nuraa Women's Institute also hopes to be able to become part of and to continue collaborate with the Indonesia Sustainability Forum (ISF) to collectively aim for the achievement of SDGs 2030.
