RESOLUTIONS

Fifteen years ago, Security Council resolution 1325 reaffirmed the importance of the equal participation and full involvement of women in all efforts for maintaining and promoting peace and security. In the years since, it has adopted seven further resolutions on women, peace and security that call for not only the full participation and inclusion of women at all decision making levels, but also the protection and promotion of women’s rights throughout conflict prevention.
