Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda
In 2000, there was an adoption of 1325 Resolution on WPS by UN Peace and Security Council. Despite many global and regional commitments and initiatives of countries, the number of women included in formal peacemaking processes remains low; and many peace agreements do not include gender provisions that sufficiently address women’s security and peacebuilding needs. WWCN considers this to be a serious challenge and resolved to always engage State and Non State leaders to ensure that women are effectively represented in the National, Regional and Global dialogues tackling PS agenda.
