Executive Summary

The author argues that the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda, most notably through UNSCR 1325, serves to integrate women into the existing peace and security framework without transforming it. By dissecting the WPS agenda through three lenses (gender and conflict, gender and peacebuilding, and the WPS agenda and feminist visions of peace), the author offers recommendations for how to transform the international peace and security agenda.
