The ground-breaking Security Council Resolution 1325, which was passed in the year 2000, is the first to link women’s experiences of conflict to the international peace and security agenda, focusing attention on the disproportionate impact of conflict on women, and calling for women’s engagement in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.

This website aims to build a community of practice among the various stakeholders involved in actualizing the broad objectives of increased women’s effective participation in peace and security processes, peace negotiations , conflict prevention and resolution; and improved public perception on the role of women in peace and security at all levels through opportunities for engagement and dialogue.
