The resolution was adopted in October 2000, and their presence was warmly received by Dr. Khanzad Ahmad, the Secretary-General of the High Council for Women and Development.
The event provided a platform for discussing the progress made since the historic adoption of SCR 1325 and the challenges that persist in the global pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment. It served as an opportunity for academics, diplomats, and activists to come together and reiterate their commitment to the WPS agenda, highlighting the need to further address issues related to women’s rights in conflict zones and peace processes.
