In order to pay attention to the twentieth anniversary for the global women’s movement that led up to the Beijing Platform for Action, Gender and Development in Practice (GADIP) will host a conference in Gothenburg, 21-22 November.

During a two-day conference with lectures and workshops related to the Beijing Platform twelve critical areas for development, Operation 1325 is hosting a seminar. We will exchange our expirience and knowledge about women’s important participation in peace processes; give concrete examples of where the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security and the sister resolutions have been and can be used; and discuss how to use media and CSO interaction towards greater participation of women in the MENA-region. This is a great opportunity for the civil society to gather for discussion about challenges ahead and reflect on women’s rights today.
