25 years Women, Peace and Security

Media release

Twenty-five years ago, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS). It calls for the equal participation of women in peace processes and the protection of their rights in armed conflicts. But today, its implementation hangs by a thread. On the occasion of the anniversary, the Alliance for Women, Peace and Security (consisting of Frieda – The Feminist Peace Organisation, PeaceWomen Across the Globe and KOFF/swisspeace) emphasises that these goals are more relevant and necessary than ever – and stresses the need to strengthen commitment to the Women, Peace and Security agenda in a targeted manner.
