Advocacy at the Security Council

Advocacy at the Security Council

At the UN Security Council, WILPF is engaged in targeted advocacy on country and thematic issues to strengthen conflict prevention and implementation of the WPS Agenda, including through women’s meaningful participation.

Building on our strategic WPS monitoring, we identify political opportunities and work with our women peace activist global network to amplify local women’s gender conflict analysis and recommendations via direct regular recommendations to the UN Security Council, around the WPS Informal Expert Group, and other key stakeholders. We focus on a number of key countries, including Colombia, Nigeria, Cameroon, the DRC, Yemen, Libya, and Syria. We facilitate meetings of grassroots activists with high-level representatives and contribute our analysis at a variety of relevant meetings to strengthen opportunities for action.

 

Partnerships:

WILPF partners in UNSC advocacy efforts with the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security (NGOWG) and its members. Through this coalition, we come together with other NGOs offering a diverse range of expertise and perspectives to advocate for the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

Each month, the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security releases Monthly Action Points (MAP) on Women, Peace and Security for the United Nations (UN) Security Council. The analysis in these monthly briefs is designed for Security Council members and for the civil society organizations, Member States, and UN entities which are committed to addressing the rights and interests of women in conflict. The NGOWG ensures that the broad range of expertise of its membership and networks is available for additional analysis on key issue areas and country situations. 

Below, you will find a year-by-year collection of the Monthly Action Points for your perusal. For Monthly Action Points in languages other than English and for more information on the activities of the NGOWG on Women, Peace and Security, please visit their website: www.womenpeacesecurity.org.
