From Global Promise to National Action: States and Civil Societies Advancing Women, Peace and Security

From Global Promise to National Action: States and Civil Societies Advancing Women, Peace and Security

Evidence shows that women’s participation in peace and security processes is linked to a greater likelihood of successful outcomes, and international frameworks have sprung up accordingly. What is less understood is the role of national initiatives. National Action Plans (NAPs) to implement UN Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security have tripled since 2010, but what impact do these plans have?

In partnership with Inclusive Security and the International Peace Institute, OEF Research hosted a panel discussion on their newest report, From Global Promise to National Action: Advancing Women, Peace, and Security in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Philippines, Serbia, and Sierra Leone.

Speakers:
Julienne Lusenge, Director, Fund for Congolese Women
Maria Cleofe Gettie Sandoval, former Undersecretary, Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, Philippines
Miki Jacevic, Vice Chair, Inclusive Security
Alexandra Amling, Researcher on Women, Peace, and Security, OEF Research

Moderator:
Marie O’Reilly, Director of Research, Inclusive Security
