Guide
to Women, Peace and Security Policy
UN INSTRAW is launching a guide on women, peace and security
policy and planning entitled "Securing Equality, Engendering Peace" today the 21st of September- International
Day of Peace. This guide focuses on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace
and Security (2000) through creating national and organizational plans of action. It provides a quick overview of gender action
plans and planning theory, and then includes six concrete steps on developing women, peace and security action plans. A how-to
guide full of examples and best practices, it is written with government policy-makers, NGO workers and UN employees in mind.
The guide is available on INSTRAW's website (http://www.un-instraw.org) in English as well as a full press release, fact sheet, and an interview with INSTRAW's gender, peace and security specialist:
Kristin Valasek.
We hope you enjoy the reading.
