Rooted in the efforts of civil society and women’s rights activists, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) laid the foundations for one of the most visible frameworks for promoting gender equality in global peace and security. The E-Book is the final product of the PRIF Blog Series on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the adoption of Resolution 1325.
About the Book:
Bringing together the contributions of the Blog Series, the E-Book offers diverse perspectives and reflections on the achievements, struggles, and future of the WPS Agenda. It explores the knowledge systems that have evolved around WPS, from postcolonial critique to questions of institutionalization. It also addresses the backlash against the WPS Agenda and considers how it can be reimagined to realize its transformative potential in a rapidly changing world.
About the event:
The event will present the E-Book “25 Years of Women, Peace and Security: Between Promises, Backlash, and Feminist Reimagining” and celebrate the conclusion of the corresponding PRIF Blog series. During the webinar, Clara Perras and Simone Wisotzki, editors of the series, will share insights in the story behind the project, and Toni Haastrup will give a keynote on the current status of the WPS agenda. Together we will discuss key learnings and gained perspectives with the authors.
