History

Historical Context

In October 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325, marking a pivotal moment in recognizing women's roles in peace and security. This resolution, which emerged from advocacy by NGOs and member states, has since inspired frameworks like Nigeria's Third National Action Plan and the U.S. Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017, promoting women's participation in peace processes and addressing wartime violence against women.
