Security Council Women in Armed Conflict: Gender Balance and Sexual Violence
Violations of women s human rights in times of armed conflict are violations of the fundamental principles of international human rights and humanitarian law. Massive violations, including, in particular murder, systematic rape, sexual slavery and forced pregnancy in war situations, must be stopped immediately, while perpetrators of such crimes must be punished. More than 70 % of victims of human trafficking are female.
During times of armed conflict and the collapse of communities, the role of women is crucial. They often work to preserve social order. Women make an important but often unrecognized contribution as peace educators both in their families and in their societies. Serious challenges continue to impede women’s full and equal participation in senior decision-making positions, including negative stereotypes about women’s leadership roles, lack of commitment by political parties, inadequate funding and training for women candidates and government officials, and high levels of violence and intimidation against women in public office.
The participation and representation of women in decision-making forums, institutions and mechanisms related to conflict prevention and resolution, peacebuilding and post-conflict recovery and the importance of mainstreaming gender equality perspectives at all stages of peace processes is at the core of all five Security Council resolutions on women and peace and security (resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009), 1889 (2009) and 1960 (2010). In resolution 1325 (2000), the Security Council urged Member States to ensure increased representation of women at all decision-making levels in national, regional and international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of conflict They also requested that all members involved adopt a gender perspective when negotiating and implementing peace agreements, The 12-year review of progress in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) showed that progress has been uneven despite many important initiatives and strategies have been launched at the international, regional and national levels. Many gaps and challenges still remain in the achievement of the goal of guaranteeing women’s participation in decision-making in all stages of peace processes as well as in conflict prevention and preventive diplomacy. The striking absence of women from formal peace negotiations, in particular, shows a troubling gap between global and regional commitments and actual practice. There are rarely observed issues pertaining to social inclusion and equality, as well as specific aspects of gender-based discrimination and conflict-related sexual violence.
The Security Council should strengthen mandates for peacekeeping operations to prevent sexual violence in situations of armed conflict and provide more protection for women and girls from widespread and systematic sexual attacks by parties to armed conflict. These mandates should include:
- Extending the recruitment and deployment of more female peacekeepers and civilian police should be encouraged.
