Women, Peace, and Security Agenda

The Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda is an initiative aimed at addressing the unique impacts of conflict on women and recognizing their crucial role in peace-building. Established by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000, the agenda emphasizes the importance of including women in decision-making processes related to peace and security. It advocates for protecting women's rights during and after conflicts, ensuring their participation in peace negotiations, and addressing gender-based violence in crises. Overall, the WPS Agenda promotes gender equality as essential for sustainable peace and security worldwide.
