Including more women in peace-building, the military and decision-making bodies, is important for NATO as part of effective conflict resolution.

War and conflict often affects women and children more than men.

Recognizing the important role women play in building peace, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on 31 October 2000.

The Resolution called for an end to the historic inequality of male and female participation in resolving conflicts.

This short film examines how NATO is working to protect women and children in its areas of operations, and to increase the participation of women at every level to prevent future conflicts.
