Gender, Peace and Security and launch of the UN Women Report Forum

Fifteen years ago, in October 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted the historic resolution 1325 (2000), drawing attention to the differential impact of armed conflict on women, their exclusion from conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping and peace-building, and the inextricable links between gender equality and international peace and security. Since its adoption, insecurity and conflict has continued in all parts of the world, and in recent years, it is taking on new and increasingly challenging forms. It is against this backdrop that the Gender, Peace and Security Workshop and UN Women Report Launch held on Thursday last week.
