Assignment 8
The Resolution Thirteen Twenty Five that was passed by the Security Council on October Thirty First Two Thousand. The Security Council’s responsibility was to provide security and peace. This Resolution’s main focus was to have women be included in times on conflict. The Resolution embodied they idea that women should be able to participate in times of war and/or conflict as peace keepers. Women were not being utilized to their full potential during times of conflict and war. Most women became victims of rape and suffered immensely during times of war and conflict to other sexual abuses. Women’s ideas were unappreciated and devalued during times of war and/or conflict, they were also underutilized during prewar and post war and/or conflicts. Resolution Thirteen Twenty Five helped unite women in all areas of the world because it provided them with the tools they needed to become active and valued individuals in times of war and conflict. They could now be part of the United Nations negotiations for peace and security efforts for their countries. By including women in these negotiations the hope is to provide peace and protection for them during times of war and conflict. Once the Resolution women’s groups were able to receive reliable support both financially and technically. In other words it forced the Security Counsel in Afghanistan “to put their money, where their mouth is” for lack of a better term. They had step up and provide support not just take about providing support. With the Resolution Thirteen Twenty Five other countries like Africa also began to slowly integrate women into negotiations and peace making decisions. After two thousand one backed NGO women’s groups by re enforcing the idea of empowering women by having countries nominate them for leadership positions. They wanted to increase women’s role in matters of protection, peace and security. With the creation and implementation of Resolution Thirteen Twenty Five Non Governmental Organization Women’s groups have been working together to provide protection and security for girls and women during times war and/or conflict. For example they are creating peace operations for gender justice and refugee children and women. With the technical support these NGO women groups are now receiving they are able to navigate and work on the PeaceWomen.org website that was launched on October thirty first two thousand and one. This site further helps to unite women around the world in working together on matters of peace
