UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was adopted unanimously in October 2000. It called for women's equal participation with men in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security. The Resolution not only recognised the disproportionate affect of conflict on women, but also underlined the essential role of women in the prevention of conflict and as full participants in post-conflict peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts.
