Action Plan for Resolution 1325

Coverage On October 31, 2000, the United Nations Security Council, in a celebratory milestone session, passed Resolution 1325, which recognizes that women are the key to ending violent conflict and to the establishment of lasting peace. The Resolution highlights the importance of the role of women in preventing violent conflicts, and states clearly that all UN member states are under an obligation to include women in all decision making bodies, especially those dealing with matters of security and peace. In addition, it calls on all UN member states to take positive action to protect women from violence, and to uphold and support, without reservation, international law with respect to the human rights of women and girls, and their protection.
13 years later, tens of women’s organizations in Israel launched an Action Plan for application of the resolution in Israel. Language:  Hebrew Subtitles:  English
