WPS Open debate and WPS events

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. While the UN Security Council Open Debate on WPS will take place on 6 October, visa restrictions and shrinking civic space mean that many of the women’s rights organisations who shaped this agenda cannot be present in New York. As civil society, we therefore reclaim this moment by centering our own voices, convenings and priorities. Across Amman, Nairobi, Brussels, The Hague, London and beyond, feminist movements, grassroots organisations and allies are coming together throughout September, October and November to reflect, strategise and advance the WPS agenda in its 25th anniversary year.
