Introduction to Women, Peace and Security
Gender equality is the number one predictor of peace – more so than a state’s wealth, level of democracy, or religious identity.

Resolution 1325 consists of four pillars – participation, protection, prevention, and relief and recovery. It urges Member States to increase the representation of women at all decision-making levels in national, regional and international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts.
