Many challenges remain for the WPS Agenda.
Laws haven’t transformed women’s lives in conflict.
Sexual violence continues with impunity, and participation in peace processes is still limited.To achieve sustainable peace, WPS must shift beyond securitisation to a truly feminist approach. #WPS

The Women, Peace & Security (WPS) agenda, born from UN Resolution 1325, recognises women as vital to preventing conflict and building peace.
But civil society, especially women’s organisations, remains underfunded. It’s time to shift resources from hard security to sustainable, people-powered peace.

In 2024, 26.1% of women faced hunger vs 24.2% of men — that’s 64M more women. Women also spend 3 more years in poor health. By 2030, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age could live with anaemia..A society is only as strong as the health of its women.

The numbers don’t lie — The Gender Snapshot 2025 shows progress for women is under threat. Poverty, hunger, war, climate disasters & backlash against feminism are eroding gains that took a generation to win.
Equality is still possible — but only if we invest now.
