General Women, Peace and Security

The General Women, Peace and Security theme focuses on information related to UN Security Council Resolutions 1325, 1820, 1888, 1889, 1960, 2106, and 2122, which make up the Women Peace and Security Agenda.

The Women, Peace and Security Agenda historically recognizes that women and gender are relevant to international peace and security. The Agenda is based on four pillars: 1) participation, 2) protection, 3) conflict prevention, and 4) relief and recovery.

The Women, Peace and Security Agenda demands action to strengthen women’s participation, protection and rights in conflict prevention through post-conflict reconstruction processes. It is binding on all UN Member States.

At the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, we seek to highlight those around the world who are working to promote gender equality and challenge the status quo. The people we interview occupy many different roles within NGOs, foreign policy, and charities, among many. Aside from their impressive careers, our interviewees are feminist actors with a wealth of advice (and book recommendations!).

Expanding the Data Ecosystem: The role of “Non-Official” Data for SDG Monitoring and Review

We strongly support the adoption of the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data by the UN Statistical Commission. We commit to strengthening and nurturing partnerships with National Statistical Offices (NSOs), particularly around Objectives 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 5.1, and urge NSOs, governments and UN bodies to intensify work and expand opportunities for partnership with non-official data sources1 and providers.
