GLOBAL REPORT Civil Society Organization (CSO) Survey for the Global Study on Women, Peace and Security CSO Perspectives on UNSCR 1325 Implementation 15 Years after Adoption

This CSO survey for the Global Study on Women, Peace and Security was conducted by the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP), in partnership with Cordaid, the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN) and the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security (NGO WG on WPS), with inputs from UN Women and other members of the UN Inter-agency Standing Committee on Women, Peace and Security.
