Extract:

The adoption of this resolution has marked a historic step in the United Nations consideration of the participation of women in the peace process and the strengthening of protection for women and girls from violence in conflict and post-conflict situations. Council resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1889 (2009) have made it possible to better coordinate the efforts of the international community aimed at ensuring a greater involvement of women in seeking solutions to problems of peace and security. As the report of the Secretary-General rightly points out, this issue is now an integral part of the Security Council's agenda. Similarly, many reports of the Secretary-General on peacekeeping operations contain information on actions that are aimed at guaranteeing the participation of women in conflict prevention, management and peacebuilding.
