PEACEWOMEN - UN SECURITY COUNCIL
MONITOR
The PeaceWomen Project
Security Council Monitor includes three interlinked tools - Resolution
Watch, Report Watch and Debate Watch.
The goal of the monitor, which was started in 2006, is to extract and analyze
the women, peace and security content, or lack thereof, in all Security Council
resolutions, debates, and reports to the Council by the Secretary General. This
information is then made available online for advocates to utilize in a timely
way.

10th Anniversary of
SCR1325
PeaceWomen Project Women, Peace and
Security Handbook
For the 10th anniversary of 1325,
Peacewomen is launching the ‘Women, Peace and Security Handbook,’ which
examines the degree to which the Security Council has internalised the thematic
agenda of Women, peace and security in its geographic work over the past 10
years, specifically in the Council’s country-specific resolutions.
Divided into
thirteen thematic chapters, the handbook is a reference guide for both progress
made and action to be taken on the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The analysis assesses the
consistency with which Council resolutions reflect the language and intent of
SCR 1325. Good practice extracts from resolutions are presented and critical
recommendations are made. This Handbook, like the 10th anniversary itself, is a
call to action and a sincere effort to enhance the implementation of the Women,
peace and security agenda. The recommendations call for the incorporation of
more comprehensive language on women and gender in future country-specific
resolutions.
