Women and War - The Washington, D.C. Celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of UNSCR 1325

In October 2000, the United Nations Security Council passed landmark Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security, which linked women's experiences of conflict to the international peace and security agenda, acknowledging their peacemaking roles as well as the disproportionate impact of violent conflict on women. Ten years later the U.S. Institute of Peace will co-host a three-day conference celebrating the landmark resolution.
