The Swedish Government’s Action Plan for 2009-2012 to Implement Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women, Peace and Security
Abstract
The recognition of the importance of women as actors in conflict resolution and the fact that they are particularly vulnerable in armed conflict situations underlines the need for intensified efforts to integrate a gender equality perspective into the preparations for and the implementation and assessment of peace-keeping operations. A clear gender and gender equality perspective in which the situation and conditions of women and girls are given full attention is also needed in humanitarian efforts during and after conflicts. As a member of the UN, Sweden will contribute to the implementation of Resolution 1325 through activities at three levels: national, regional and global. The Swedish action plan focuses on enabling the active participation of women in peace processes, and also on ensuring that the special protection needs of women and girls are fulfilled.
