Description

Ten years ago, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1325, recognizing the vulnerability of women and girls to violence during and after armed conflict, and the absence or low level of women's representation in efforts to prevent war, build peace and restore devastated societies. The resolution sought formally, for the first time in the Security Council, to end this neglect and actively to promote and draw on the untapped potential of women everywhere on issues of peace and security. The report highlights how women in conflict and post-conflict situations—as well as in emergencies or protracted crises—are faring a decade later. It is constructed around interviews and reporting in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Haiti, Jordan, Liberia, the occupied Palestinian territory (West Bank), Timor-Leste and Uganda. The diverse nations recently emerged from conflict and are rebuilding with limited resources. Some have experienced profound social changes as a result of war and displacement.
