Global Network of Women Peacebuilders

Mavic Cabrera-Balleza opens the panel with her presentation by differentiating five UN Security Council Resolutions that address women, peace and security. She provides summaries and salient points for Resolutions 1325, 1820, 1888, 1889 and 1960, as there has been much confusion surrounding these documents. She also elaborates on the processes that have taken place in the formulation of each resolution, highlighting civil society particiation when applicable. She emphasises that though these are significant milestones at the UN level, it is important to note that developments do not necessarily match what is happening on the ground.
