October 2010 is the 10th anniversary of SC Res 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. There will be many efforts to promote this landmark resolution. PeaceWomen Across the Globe has created an exhibition to mark the anniversary.
Women are especially concerned about war and violence. Across the globe, women actively work to find and create peaceful solutions to violent conflict. History clearly demonstrates that real peace and security are only possible when women are involved in peace processes, bringing their experiences and needs to the table. In 2000, the UN Security Council recognized this by adopting Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security, demanding the inclusion of women in all peace negotiations. Ten years later, we are still very far away from this goal. Hopes and expectations remain unfulfilled. Today, the 1000 PeaceWomen nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 turn yet again to the UN Security Council, to UN member states and to the public with an urgent demand. Implement Resolution 1325 now.
