New AWN report launched on the implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1325 in Afghanistan

UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UN SCR 1325) on women, peace and security is a key focus of our campaign. The resolution is ground-breaking in that it formally recognised the unique impact of conflict on women and the value of women's participation in peace and reconciliation activities. Implementation of this resolution has been slow however, and the women who face these issues have yet to see its impact. Several states have written action plans to outline actions for the implementation of UN SCR 1325, including the UK. 

The Afghan Women's Network (AWN) has been advocating for the implementation of UNSCR 1325 in Afghanistan. The AWN has been involved in bringing awareness of UN SCR 1325 to Afghan women and men and have recently released an excellent report on its implementation in the country. Read the full report here.

This report is highly recommended for those wishing to find out more about women's rights in the context of conflict in Afghanistan.

 

Make sure that the voices of Afghan women are included in upcoming talks in Bonn, Germany on the future of Afghanistan. 

Sign the petition and write a letter to your MP to support the rights of Afghan women. You can also download the petition and gather signatures in your area.
