Panel Discussion: Promoting a Broader Participation of Women in Peace and Security in the Americas - UNSC Resolution 1325
This panel discussion will address the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, which focuses on the vital role that women play in the maintenance of international peace and security.
The WPS agenda is framed by a suite of Security Council resolutions including, and, in addition, to UNSCR 1325 (2000), which provides a four-pillar framework to support its goals: participation, protection, prevention, and relief and recovery.
This panel is convened to support the Women, Peace and Security efforts and to exchange experiences and best practices from countries in the Americas. One of its key goals is to hear High-Level Female Government and non-Government representatives’ experiences and expectations.
