About
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted by the Security Council unanimously in 2000, and subsequent resolutions represent the international legal framework calling for increased roles and representation of women in the security sector, in formal peace processes, in conflict prevention and resolution, as well as in transitional governments and post-conflict rehabilitation. They also stipulate taking into account gender analysis of peace and security issues as well as the prosecution of sexual violence as a weapon in war and conflict situations.
This conference aims to raise awareness of participating States on international commitments reflected in UNSCRs on Women, Peace and Security; to take stock of and review existing efforts, best practices and lessons learnt to develop, implement and monitor national action plans or other implementation strategies related to the UNSCRs; to share voices and opinions of women peace activists in regard to challenges and perspectives of mainstreaming gender equality dimensions into peace building and post-conflict reconstruction processes, as well as to support their meaningful participation in on-going dialogues and initiatives on peace and security at all levels; and to define ways and perspectives to support and address the demand of countries for knowledge, expertise and resources available in regard of practical implementation of UNSCRs.
