WILPF at the Security Council Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security: 1325 + 14

October 2014
UN Headquarters, New York

Women peace leaders from all over the world came together at the 14th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 to advocate, strategize, and act to hold accountable the international community on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. WILPF hosted a delegation of women peace leaders from sections and partners in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Colombia, Libya, Cameroon, Jordan, and Lebanon. Together, we built solidarity through sharing our experiences, engaged in advocacy and outreach, and took action to strengthen violence prevention, disarmament, and women’s full and equal participation and rights. We joined together to demand not just commitments but accomplishments for gender equality, disarmament and peace.
