| Objectives |
This short certificate course will examine why the international community speaks a great deal about including women in formal peace-making processes and recognising their peacebuilding contributions but sadly fails to do so in a systematic, meaningful way. Advances have been made in understanding the links between gender, development, human rights, peace, security and justice. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 reaffirmed the role of women in preventing and resolving conflicts and mandates UN member states to take steps to increase women"s participation in decision-making. Then again, prevalent discrimination and sexual violence are significant barriers to achieving Resolution 1325's goals. |
