A huge milestone, it finally promised mainstream attention to women’s perspectives on and experiences of war, peace and security which women’s rights activists had been pursuing for over a century.
This momentous anniversary was celebrated with a roundtable of key experts and practitioners discussing the WPS agenda’s past, present and potential futures.
