PeaceWomen (WILPF)

PeaceWomen is a project of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). It aims to enhance the visibility of women's peace efforts within the United Nations system and international community. The starting point of the Peacewomen Project was the historic unanimous adoption of Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security in October, 2000, specifically addressing the impact of war on women, and women's contributions to conflict resolution and sustainable peace. PeaceWomen WILPF focuses on eighteen identified themes such as Conflict Prevention, Disarmament, HIV/AIDS, Economic Rights, and Landmines, including Human Rights and Violence Against Women and Trafficking. PeaceWomen shares a web portal with UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women-http://www.unifem.org.
