Background

OSCE participating States have committed to promoting the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (UNSCR 1325), a landmark document reaffirming the importance of women ́s participation and full involvement in maintaining and promoting peace and security. Based on commitments by participating States, ODIHR is promoting a gender-responsive and human rights compliant delivery of security across the OSCE region. In collaboration with security sector institutions, and often in close cooperation with OSCE field operations, ODIHR regularly delivers training to these institutions, as well as to civil society organizations.
