WPS 2015 High Level Review: Share your voices by March 31st!
by Ghazal Rahmanpanah
2015 is a monumental year for the Women, Peace and Security agenda, marking the 15th anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and the Security Council High-Level Review of Women, Peace and Security. Now more than ever, it is critical to take action by recognizing and addressing existing gaps, amplifying the voices of grassroots organizations worldwide focused on the Women, Peace and Security agenda, and increasing opportunities for women’s meaningful participation and rights in both conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
You can get involved by being a part of the 2015 Global Study! If you are a civil society activist working on gender, conflict, or Women, Peace and Security issues, you can:
