The Global Justice Center supports UNIFEM's petition to implement United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 for the equal participation of women in peacekeeping and protection from sexual violence.
"Starting on 7 June 2010, the Global Open Day for Women and Peace will break new ground. Throughout June, in more than 20 post-conflict countries, senior UN officials are opening their doors to women peace activists and leaders. Special Representatives of the UN Secretary-General and other high-level officials will engage with women advocates to hear their concerns, and discuss how to increase women's participation in sustainable conflict resolution, peacemaking and peacebuilding."
