Women Transforming Peace: Celebrating 20 Years of UNSCR 1325 and Beyond
Tuesday, October 20, 2020, 10:00-11:30 am EDT
Register here.
Join USIP and the U.S. Civil Society Working Group on Women, Peace and Security to mark the 20th anniversary of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325. The discussion will look at how countries are expanding on the Women, Peace and Security agenda by adopting feminist foreign and development policies—and how civil society organizations have invested in masculinities programming as a complementary approach. These and other frameworks may prove more effective in advancing gender equality in peace and security, especially in light of the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Women’s Peacebuilding Work – Unrecognized Care?
Monday, October 26, 2020, 6:00-7:30 pm EDT

Feminist and women’s peace-making work is largely unrecognized and is chronically under-resourced. COVID-19 has amplified this gap; even though women peacebuilders are at the forefront of responses, they continue to be excluded from public decision-making on recovery. This seminar introduces findings on the topic of peacebuilding as care from the University of Sydney, as well as perspectives from grassroots peacebuilders.

Beating the Drum – how do influencing networks get results?
And, finally, a job posting from the Canadian Red Cross, who are seeking a Regional Coordinator, International Humanitarian Law for Western Canada for a 7 month contract.
And don’t forget that our recent report, Priorities for Action: Recommendations from Women Peacebuilders to the WPS Focal Points Network for 2021, is available on our website in English, along with a summary in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic.
