Executive Summary

As a response to the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on women, peace, and security, a number of countries have adopted and published National Actions Plans (NAPs) for the implementation of the resolution. Since resolutions adopted in the UN are written in rather general terms, NAPs constitute important documents that provide specific guidelines for the national governments. Kvinna till Kvinna has done a comparative study of the Nordic countries’ National Action Plans (NAP) UNSCR 1325: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The analysis is based on five minimum standards developed by the Nordic 1325 network that consists of various civil society organizations.
