In light of the 20th anniversary of UN resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security and in preparation for the UN Security Council Open Debate week, Cordaid and the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS) are jointly launching a series of virtual dialogues showcasing good practices and inspiring examples for the WPS Agenda.

Youth-led activism for Women, Peace and Security: Looking for a paradigm shift
Young people across the world play a crucial role in peace and development, and particularly in achieving the WPS agenda. Young women and men are leaders in promoting gender equality, women's and human rights, and standing up for oppressed and marginalized groups.
In this session, we will engage young women and men from Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen on the intersection between UNSC Resolutions 1325 and 2250 and the need for gender-responsive approaches to peace building. The young activists will share inspiring stories and examples of their work and explain how the YPS and the WPS agenda can mutually reinforce each other.
In partnership with: UNOY, APT, TWM, #Youth_speak program and YWBOD
