NGO Working Group on Women, Peace, & Security The NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security (NGOWG) was formed in May 2000 to advocate for a United Nations Security Council resolution on women, peace and security. Following the unanimous adoption of SCR 1325 in October 2000, the group began the work of pressing for its full implementation. The NGO Working Group believes that a peaceful future depends on the full participation of women in all decision making to prevent violent conflict and to protect women and girls. A broad and positive impact on the lives of all people experiencing conflict will result from the full implementation of SCR 1325 and promotion of the Beijing Platform for Action and CEDAW. Adherence to SCR 1325 is a necessary tool for the prevention of armed conflict and for the inclusion of gender in the ongoing peace and security discourse taking place within the United Nations and the international community. |
