| Inclusive Security, Sustainable Peace: A Toolkit for Advocacy and Action Downloading the toolkit:
Following the adoption of SCR 1325 in 2000, Alert held a series of policy-to-practice workshops with women’s organisations in conflict zones to help them advocate for their protection from human rights violations, and to promote their participation in processes affecting their peace, security and development. The workshops were also used to identify gaps in policy and develop recommendations for feedback to decision-makers at national, regional and international levels. These meetings with women peacebuilders around the world indicated very strongly that there was a pressing need for easily accessible information on policies, international legal mechanisms and conflict issues, so that women could more effectively work to build peace. Together with The Initiative for Inclusive Security, an independent US-based think-tank, we published Inclusive Security, Sustainable Peace: A Toolkit for Advocacy and Action, a resource for peace activists, advocates and practitioners in conflict-affected and post-conflict countries, and for policy makers and staff of major multilateral institutions, donor countries and international NGOS. The toolkit is intended to enable women to engage in peacebuilding and security processes, and can be used as a reference guide, for training and awareness-raising; or to enhance understanding of SCR 1325 and other relevant international agreements, instruments and institutions. Inclusive Security, Sustainable Peace: A Toolkit for Advocacy and Action includes sections on:
It also has chapters on the following topics: Conflict prevention, resolution and reconstruction
Justice, governance and civil society
Some chapters have been translated into Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish. Click on the links below to download these chapters:
We are now beginning a series of practical training workshops based on the toolkit, working with our regional programmes and their local partners to identify participants. These consultations will be adapted to support peacebuilding priorities in each region and used as an opportunity to disseminate the toolkit more widely.
