In 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted the ground-breaking resolution 1325. The resolution was the first of its kind to recognise the importance of including women in international peace and security. It calls for all actors to increase the participation of women in peacebuilding; to protect women against human rights violations during conflict; and to incorporate a gender perspective in all areas of peacebuilding.
15 years later, the resolution still holds the same relevance, yet a lot of work remains to be done. What has happened since resolution 1325 was adopted? What is the situation like for young women in conflict-affected areas? And what challenges lie ahead?
Meet Project Officer Sara Saljic from the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation and Milana Lazic, representative from Young Women´s Peace Academy. They will discuss their work on resolution 1325 and present a case study on the Western Balkans.
