Women, Peace and Human Security Quarterly Report: Ensuring Women's Full and Effective Participation in Defining Peace and Human Security

The UN Security Council Resolution 1325 is an affirmation of the important role of women in conflict prevention and Peacebuilding. The resolution is expressly aimed at increasing the participation of women in conflict management at all levels of decision making, including prevention and postconflict reconstruction.

In 2008, eight years on since the unanimous adoption of UN Security Council resolution 1325 (Women, Peace and Security), our Pacific regional women's community media network on “1325” launched its first policy initiative, which serves as a guide for governments and civil society organisations to assist in the implementation of this ground breaking resolution.
