Mission
The NGOWG on Women, Peace and Security advocates for the equal and full participation of women in all efforts to create and maintain international peace and security. Formed in 2000 to call for a Security Council resolution on Women, Peace and Security, the NGOWG now focuses on implementation of all Security Council resolutions that address this issue. The NGOWG serves as a bridge between women’s human rights defenders working in conflict-affected situations and policy-makers at U.N. Headquarters.
The NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security has released the January 2015 version of our Monthly Action Points (MAP) on Women, Peace and Security for the UN Security Council.
For January, in which Chile has the presidency, the MAP provides recommendations on the situations in Burundi, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Somalia, and Sudan / South Sudan. The MAP also provides recommendations for discussions on protection of civilians in armed conflict, and on the regular implementation of women, peace and security in the work on the Security Council.
About the MAP
The NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security produces Monthly Action Points, a series of recommendations that show how each United Nations Security Council President can provide leadership on, and how the Security Council as a whole can systematically meet its obligations to women in conflict. These briefs are designed for Security Council Members, civil society actors, Member States, and UN entities. We look forward to your feedback and input. Please distribute widely. All previous MAPs are available on our website: www.womenpeacesecurity.org.
Information and previous MAP points on specific country situations as well as NGOWG Member resources are available on our website HERE.
The MAP for January is available in English HERE, with additional languages forthcoming.
All the best,
Louise
