Nearly 15 years ago, the groundbreaking UN
Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, the first Women, Peace and Security
(WPS) resolution, called on all member states and the United Nations (UN)
system to ensure women’s full participation in all conflict prevention,
peacebuilding, and post-conflict reconstruction processes and to protect the
rights of women in the context of armed conflict. UNSCR 1325 was the direct
result of a strategic global advocacy campaign involving women peacebuilders in
conflict zones worldwide.
Since UNSCR 1325 was adopted, there have
been remarkable achievements; however, there remains a big deficit in
implementation at the national and local levels, particularly in communities
directly affected by violent conflicts. The UN Security Council has stressed
that women’s perspectives will continue to be underrepresented in conflict
prevention, resolution, protection and peacebuilding without a significant
shift in how the resolution is implemented. As we approach the 15th anniversary
of UNSCR 1325, we face an important opportunity to review how the context of
peace and security and international response to conflict has changed since 1325
was adopted, and what new issues need to be taken into consideration to
increase the impact of UNSCR 1325 and subsequent resolutions on women, peace
and security within the UN system moving forward.
In preparation for the 15th anniversary of
UNSCR 1325, in 2015, the UN Security Council will convene a High-level Review
to evaluate progress at the global, regional and national levels in
implementing UNSCR 1325. In preparation for this review, the UN Secretary
General (SG) is commissioning a Global Study, which will highlight “good
practice examples, gaps and challenges, as well as emerging trends and
priorities for action on UNSCR 1325 implementation.” Results from the study
will be included in the SG’s annual report to the Security Council on Women and
Peace and Security in 2015.
The promise of UNSCR 1325 cannot be
realized without the full participation of civil society activists. In the
post-2015 period, it is essential that the UN system (all relevant agencies),
bilateral donors, and governments recognize the expertise and commitment that
CSOs bring to this agenda and engage them as equal partners.
In this light, the Global Network of Women
Peacebuilders (GNWP), in partnership with the International Civil Society
Action Network (ICAN) the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security
(NGO WG on WPS) and Cordaid is conducting this survey among CSOs from around
the world to solicit their views on the implementation of UNSCR 1325 in the
past, and recommendations for the future.
