The ProEquality Centre has signed up to the joint statement of civil society organisations calling for the full participation of women in all areas of peace and security. The 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day provides an opportunity to reiterate one of the key recommendations of UNSCR 1325, which has also been identified as one of the five priorities for the work of UN Women: Strengthening implementation of the women, peace and security agenda, through women’s full participation in conflict resolution and peace processes, gender‐responsive early warning, protection from sexual violence and redress for its survivors in accordance with UN resolutions.
