Women, Peace and security Agenda between the Rhetoric Discourse and Masculinity

 The Women, Peace and Security Agenda is an international policy framework developed by the security

council which for the first time recognized the importance of acknowledging and integrating women’s experience into issues of peace and security. The women, peace and security agenda includes the pioneering security council resolution 1325 which was unanimously passed by the united nations security council on 31 October 2000 calling for women participation in peacebuilding and peace negotiations, as well as, calling for protecting women during conflict. Besides, the Security Council passed a subsequent women, peace and security resolutions to support 1325 resolution: 1820 (2008), 1888(2009), 1960 (2010), 2106 (2013) and 2122 (2013).
The origins of 1325 lie in the UN world conferences on women, where the issue of women, conflict and peace received intense debate at the Third World Conferences on women in Nairobi in 1985. Besides the Beijing Platform for Action adopted at the Fourth World Conference on women in 1995, and it emphasized on the importance of gender perspective and women’s contributions for sustainable peacebuilding.
