WILPF 1325 Literature Repository
Forward from Madeleine Rees, Secretary General, WILPF
Welcome
to the WILPF Literature Repository, an online resource on Women, Peace and
Security hosted on www.peacewomen.org.
Behind
the adoption of the Security Council 1325 are 100 years and more of women
working around the globe for sustainable peace. In 1915 some 1300 women
from Europe and North America, came together in a Congress of Women to protest
the killing and destruction of the war than raging in
Sharing
the knowledge and wisdom of women increases understanding and the possibility
of coherence in strategy. Women learn from each other and each others
experience and move forward.
It
is with
this in mind that WILPF has launched the 1325 Literature Repository, and invite
you to read through the research and stories and to
add and contribute your own knowledge.
We
hope that this will be a “living “ process so that we can constantly develop
our knowledge, thinking and understanding of Peace and Security; and most
importantly, find ways of making sure that our efforts have real outcomes and
bring 1325 into life.
Thank
you,
Madeleine Rees - Secretary General WILPF
The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Security Council
Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. Building on the commitments of
the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (adopted at the 4th World
Conference on Women), the resolution acknowledged for the first time the
important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and in
peace building, and the importance of their equal participation and full
involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and
security.
In recognition of the important work being done by women and men around the
world progressing this work, WILPF established the WILPF 1325 Literature
Repository, an online resource, hosted on www.peacewomen.org.
Overwhelmed by the interest, a final 25 papers have been selected as the
first additions to the WILPF Literature Repository. These papers reflect the
critical analysis of progress and the challenges in this area with work from UN
agencies, academia, civil society and local grass-roots organizations
representing such geographical regions as Australia, DRC, and Bosnia
Herzegovina.
