The PeaceWomen Translation Initiative was established to tackle language barriers and to increase awareness of the United Nation’s founding resolutions on women, peace and security around the world, Security Council Resolution 1325 (SCR1325). PeaceWomen.org is the only website to house all existing translations of SCR 1325.

About PeaceWomen Translation Project

Implementation of SCR1325 and SCR1820 can only move forward if translations exist and are widely disseminated making the resolution accessible and relevant to local communities. PeaceWomen believes in the local ownership of the women, peace and security agenda and an important part of this ownership is language.

PeaceWomen had successfully compiled over 100 translations of SCR 1325. The important purpose of the translations initiative has been to spark interest in the women peace and security agenda among untapped audiences, which leads to useful in-country contacts and opportunities for collaboration. We also hope that the translations of 1325 provide impetus for supporting material to be translated.
