Women around the world have celebrated UN
Security Council Resolution 1325 of 2000 on Women, Peace and Security,
welcoming it as a tool for peace, democracy and the prevention of war. In the
years since its adoption the world has witnessed a massive increase in military
spending, and more illegal and disastrous wars, with the ‘protection’ of women
sometimes used as a pretext. Although European countries have implemented the
UN 1325 resolution, the presence and participation of women in decision making
structures are not increasing and in post conflict situations women are more
victims than active part of building peace. We see NATO citing Resolution 1325
while, instead of peace-keeping, it fosters militarization, expands its
machinery worldwide, and fights aggressive wars.
In the Round Table we want to discuss our
demand for a peaceful, gender-just, non-violent society, in which women are
visible in the public and integrated in decision making and societal
responsibilities, a society with respect and dignity for all human beings
independent of their religion, tradition, colors and origin.
