For
the 12th anniversary of 1325, PeaceWomen launched the Second Edition of the
‘Women, Peace and Security Handbook,’ which examines the degree to which the
Security Council has internalised the thematic agenda of women, peace and
security in its geographic work over the past 12 years, specifically in the
Council’s country-specific resolutions. The Second Edition builds upon the
work of PeaceWomen's 2010 Handbook, which can be downloaded at:
Divided
into twelve thematic chapters, the Second Edition of the Women, Peace and
Security Handbook is a reference guide for both progress made and action to be
taken on the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The analysis assesses the
consistency with which Council resolutions reflect the language and intent of
SCR 1325. Good practice extracts from resolutions are presented and critical
recommendations are made.
This Handbook is a call to action and a sincere effort to
enhance the implementation of the Women, peace and security agenda. The
recommendations call for the incorporation of more comprehensive language on
women and gender in future country-specific resolutions.
