The Story of Resolution 1325 | Women, Peace and Security

When United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) was passed, it changed history.

On the 15th anniversary of resolution 1325, we look back at how a broad civil society movement brought this agenda to the council, and, working together with governments and UN agencies, saw the resolution through to adoption.
