UN Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security: What difference
does it make?
Express your point of view in the openDemocracy Debate
openDemocracy – the online magazine
of politics and culture - launches a major debate
this October to mark the fifth anniversary of UN Resolution 1325.
How does it affect us? Has it made any difference and what difference
could it make? In 2000, Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women,
Peace and Security called for full and equal participation of women
in conflict prevention, peace processes and peace building, as decision-makers
in international organisations, in the deliberations that form the
basis for democracy – women in areas often reserved for men.
On October 17, Lesley Abdela who has recently reported for openDemocracy
on the real plight facing so many Iraqi women today, and Sir Jeremy
Greenstock – the man most responsible for 1325 - launch a
series of articles which take a long, cool look at what this major
international commitment has achieved to date. We hear from leading
women in the UN and the EU, women who have sought to make a difference
on trafficking and to peacebuilding, in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Congo;
from the women who have worked to support them in Canada, India
and the UK, and from the World Bank.
Women making a difference
"Fighting violent conflict - an online conversation"
In parallel, the Women Making a Difference
blog, starting on October 3, will bring 30 women
who have experienced conflict and who have fought to prevent it
– from Abhkazia to Sierra Leone - into an in-depth conversation
throughout October on their experience and their ambitions. As women
are delegated from around the world to go to New York and advocate
for the full implementation of 1325, our bloggers will monitor their
progress and formulate a message for those responsible at the highest
level.
