Resource: Roundtable Report:
Integration of Gender Priorities in the UN Peacebuilding Commission
The Peacebuilding
Commission can play a central role in the implementation of SCR 1325 at the
local and national levels, by coordinating, promoting and supporting engagement
with women’s groups and in mobilizing political will at the national level to
further advance gender priorities and policy, including in regard to Security
Sector Reform.
In June 2007, the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security, in
conjunction with International Alert initiated a roundtable focusing on the
gender dimension of peacebuilding in Sierra Leone and Burundi, entitled
“Enhancing Security and the Rule of Law: How can gender be better integrated
into the priorities of the UN Peacebuilding Commission?” The Roundtable was
sponsored by the Permanent Missions of the

NGO WORKING GROUP ON WOMEN, PEACE & SECURITY

The NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security (NGOWG) was formed
in May 2000 to advocate for a United Nations Security Council resolution
on women, peace and security. Following the unanimous adoption of SCR 1325 in
October 2000, the group began the work of pressing for its full implementation.
The NGO Working Group believes that a peaceful future depends on the full
participation of women in all decision making to prevent violent conflict and
to protect women and girls. A broad and positive impact on the lives of all
people experiencing conflict will result from the full implementation of SCR
1325 and promotion of the Beijing Platform for Action and CEDAW. Adherence to
SCR 1325 is a necessary tool for the prevention of armed conflict and for the
inclusion of gender in the ongoing peace and security discourse taking place within
the United Nations and the international community.
