WPS at 25 – WILPF Strategy Discussions
5 June , 2025 – 10:00 pm – 11:30 pm
This year marks the 25th anniversary of UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. The International Secretariat is initiating virtual informal discussions across the WILPF community to talk with each other about the specific ways in which the changing context is influencing our approach to resolution 1325, and beyond.
WILPF’s 2020 research UNSCR 1325 at 20 Years: Perspectives of Feminist Peace Activists and Civil Society found that there are several main barriers to the implementation of the WPS agenda. These include militarism and militarization, patriarchal and political undermining of the agenda, and a lack of accountability for implementation. While much of the analysis still stands, the global context has deeply changed. The multilateral system in which we have worked for so long to advance WPS and other key areas of work has failed in many ways and is being undermined daily.
When: There are two identical sessions to cater for different time zones:
- June 3rd at 8am New York/2pm Geneva/9pm Tokyo
- June 5th at 4pm New York/10pm Geneva/6am Melbourne
Agenda
Key questions that will be addressed:
- What you and your Section are working on regarding WPS
- What you are thinking about regarding the current context within your own country and region, including how the themes we identified back in 2020 are manifesting themselves, and how this reality is shaping your WPS work
Participants
This meeting is by invite for specific WILPF members who work actively on 1325 and WPS; this will feed into open space for a wider discussion among all WILPF members is envisaged later in the year.
