On December 16-17, Tashkent hosted a roundtable discussion on “Women, Peace and Security Agenda (WPS) and its relationship with human rights and sustainable development”.

The event was organized by the Commission for Gender Equality of Uzbekistan, the National Center for Human Rights and the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan.

The resolution calls for more active involvement of women in peace negotiations on conflict resolution, as well as for an increase in the number of women in leadership positions at the UN and the national level.

Currently, 86 out of 193 states have developed action plans for the implementation of Resolution 1325.

It was noted that Uzbekistan will focus on areas in which it is possible to change the situation, implement more effective policies and strive to achieve results.

It should be added that after Resolution 1325, 9 additional resolutions were adopted, which set out the obligations of the UN, its member states and partners to ensure that the needs and priorities of women and girls affected by conflict are taken into account, and peace is established on an inclusive and sustainable basis. The Security Council calls on the Member States to cooperate with civil society, especially with local women's platforms and organizations, to implement Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
