Kvinna till Kvinna 204d ago

October marked the 25th anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. What now? How can we match policy commitments to the realities of women’s organisations and activists in conflict? And what persistent challenges and new security threats must be confronted to make the WPS agenda truly effective? This is a recorded conversation from the launch event of Kvinna till Kvinna’s new report Meeting the Moment—WPS in 2025, authored by Bridget Rhinehart, explores these questions through insights from WPS experts and activists in Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. Link to the report: https://kvinnatillkvinna.org/publications/meeting-the-moment-women-peace-and-security-in-2025/ In this forward-looking discussion, Kvinna till Kvinna, WPS experts and policymakers talk about the report’s key findings and how we can meet the moment on Women, Peace and Security in 2025 and beyond.
