Security Council Resolution 1325: Women, Peace and Security

Since the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000, women have been at the heart of the international peace and security agenda. The resolution marked a historic shift in understanding the relationship between women and conflict, as it was the first UN document to recognize the vital role of women not only as victims of conflict, but also as peacebuilders and partners in reconstruction and development.

The resolution is based on four main pillars: participation, protection, prevention, and relief and reconstruction. It calls on member states to integrate a gender perspective into their security, defense, and governance policies.

In Jordan, the National Action Plan for the Implementation of Resolution 1325 was launched in 2017 through the efforts of the Jordanian National Commission for Women, in cooperation with governmental institutions and civil society organizations. Within this framework, the Center for Change Agents for Sustainable Development emerged as one of the leading youth organizations working to implement the resolution’s provisions in rural areas, particularly in empowering rural women politically and economically, and enhancing their participation in community peace and security efforts.

The Center for Change Agents for Sustainable Development is a non-profit, youth-led civil society organization established in Ajloun Governorate, Jordan, in 2016 and officially licensed under number (200154820). The Center originated from a local youth initiative that believed true development begins at the grassroots level, and that young people are not merely recipients of policies but active participants and partners in their formulation and implementation.

The Center operates at both the local and national levels through a wide range of programs and projects aimed at promoting sustainable development, empowering youth and women, supporting education, protecting the environment, and disseminating a culture of human rights. The Center’s philosophy is based on integrating fieldwork, advocacy, and influence on public policy, grounded in the principles of transparency, governance, social justice, and community participation.

The Center for Change Agents for Sustainable Development is an active member of the Women, Peace and Security 1325 Coalition and, through this membership, contributes to supporting national efforts aimed at enhancing women’s participation in peacebuilding processes and maintaining community security. The Center, in collaboration with its partners within the coalition, implements programs and initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of dialogue, preventing conflict, promoting social cohesion, and advancing the role of women. The Center also strives to integrate women’s perspectives into public policies related to peace and security, based on its conviction of the importance of their role as essential partners in achieving sustainable development and social stability.

Alignment of the Center’s Work with Security Council Resolution 1325

The Center believes that sustainable peace cannot be achieved without women’s participation in decision-making, and that gender equality and justice are fundamental pillars of any development process.

Since the adoption of the resolution, the Center for Change Agents for Sustainable Development has sought to align its vision and programs with the resolution’s four main pillars: participation, protection, prevention, and relief and reconstruction. The Center has embodied these pillars through initiatives and practical practices that support the rights of women and girls in various regions of the Kingdom, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.

Participation: The Center works to enhance women’s presence in leadership and decision-making positions through training and awareness programs that focus on community and political leadership, women’s media, and participation in public dialogue. It also seeks to raise awareness of the importance of women’s participation in resolving local conflicts and promoting social peace.

Protection: The center implements activities aimed at protecting women from all forms of violence and discrimination and enhancing their access to justice, in cooperation with civil society organizations and human rights stakeholders. It also pays particular attention to empowering women in rural areas through media and community campaigns that advocate for equality and human dignity.

Prevention: The center focuses on preventing conflict and gender-based violence by promoting a culture of dialogue, tolerance, and peace education. It works to build the capacities of women and young women in community mediation and effective communication, thereby strengthening their role as peacebuilders in their local communities.

Relief and Reconstruction: The center contributes to national efforts aimed at supporting women affected by social and economic crises through economic and social empowerment programs, enhancing women’s ability to face challenges and rebuild their lives with dignity and independence.
