It has been 19 years since the first resolution on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS), United Nations Security Council Resolution (SCR) 1325, was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 31st October 2000, but the numbers of women participating in peace settlements remain marginal.
Recently, Agenda 2030 and in particular Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 recognize the importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment in building just peaceful and inclusive societies. As such, progress towards the SDGs will not be achieved if women are denied access to decision making, and women’s agency in peace building. In the 21st century, women are either victims of violent or change agents of peace.
