This publication focuses particularly on GNWP’s Localization of UNSCR 1325 and 1820 program, which translates the rhetoric of the women and peace and security resolutions into actions that make a difference in the lives of women, men, girls, and boys in communities in Colombia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sierra Leone, and Uganda. The publication illustrates how the program directly engages local authorities, traditional leaders and grassroots women’s groups in implementing the resolutions in local communities. It also provides examples of how women and peace and security commitments are mainstreamed in local policy development and planning processes.
