The year 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the landmark UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which acknowledged the disproportionately adverse effects of conflict on women and girls and called for the meaningful participation of women in negotiations and peacebuilding processes to ensure lasting and inclusive peace. Studies show that including women in structured peace negotiations increases the likelihood of it lasting at least two years by 20% and for 15 years by 35%. Yet, in the Middle East, where women are leading in local communities, they are noticeably absent from the negotiating table. This online panel discussion took stock of the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda in the Middle East, with a focus on the ongoing conflicts in Israel and Palestine, Yemen, as well as post-conflict settings emerging in Syria.
