Reflecting on 25 Years of Women, Peace, and Security
In 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325, establishing a framework that underpins the
Women, Peace, and Security (WPS)
Agenda. However, reports of violence against women in conflict zones are on the rise, while democracy and women’s rights face growing political backlash worldwide, note Melanne Verveer and Rebecca Turkington in the
Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. Despite slow and uneven progress, Resolution 1325 remains a vital framework for transforming global peace and security. Realizing its full potential will require renewed political commitment, stronger investment in locally driven implementation, and the integration of the WPS agenda into responses to emerging global including climate change, democratic backsliding, and rising authoritarianism.
