The aim of the 1325 Resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council in October 2000 is to protect women and girls during and after armed conflicts and to fully involve women in conflict prevention, management and resolution, peace building and reconciliation. The resolution emphasizes women’s role and position in all decisions relating to peace and security. This first action plan will create an appropriate framework for the implementation of the Resolution. Before adoption of the Resolution and elaboration of a related plan of action, many achievements were registered by Rwanda as highlighted below due to good governance and political will that has characterized the Government of Rwanda.
