FP Virtual Dialogue: Women, Peace & Security: The Next 20 Years

An FP Virtual Dialogue exploring women’s leadership in shaping the future of global security

Watch highlights from the event:


FP in collaboration with Our Secure Future, convened exceptional leaders from across security, tech, and government for a forward-looking conversation illuminating the WPS policy framework: We explored effective ways to apply the WPS lens toward a widespread gender perspective mandate and how it can help us reframe the narrative around security.

As we mark the 20th anniversary of the UN Security Council’s landmark resolution (1325) on Women, Peace & Security, the world is facing a new set of security challenges—including new technology, climate change, global health threats, and political volatility—never envisioned 20 years ago. While COVID-19 has disrupted national and global agendas it has also brought into renewed focus the need for more inclusive, broader approaches to peace and security: How can the WPS policy framework be leveraged to help us grapple with these global challenges? How can stakeholders shape the next stage of the WPS agenda and advance meaningful action?

Watch to learn about strategic commitments and practical ways in which institutions can increase women’s participation across the board – and the gendered pressures we must address – to enhance global security, peace and stability. Watch now and add your voice to the conversation:
