IDW2026 Women, Peace & Security Panel: 25 Years of UNSC Resolution 1325

Описание: At this important juncture, marking 25 years since the adoption of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security and two years into the implementation of Canada’s Third National Action Plan (2023–2029), this session explores what progress has been made, what challenges persist, and what our goals are as we look toward 2029.

We reflect on Canada’s commitments to advancing gender-responsive peacebuilding, women’s participation in decision-making, and inclusive approaches to conflict prevention and recovery. The discussion also examines how civil society, youth, and policy actors can contribute to the effective implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda in Canada and globally.
