Abstract
Women’s experiences during conflict and peace have been discussed by women’s movements since the beginning of the twentieth century. Feminist approaches have focused on challenging gendered power relations and militarist politics. When United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) in 2000, women’s experience in conflict and post-conflict received recognition at the international level. This article provides a historical background for the WPS Agenda and presents the feminist ideas behind it. It also explores to what extent these feminist objectives have been tailored and negotiated within the UN's security discourse. While this article emphasizes the significance and contributions of the WPS Agenda, it will also scrutinize the political dynamics within which the Agenda operates. Methodologically, the WPS Resolutions, and relevant academic works will be analyzed. By analyzing the most recent resolution on the WPS, this article will provide a complementary contribution to the literature.
