| Summary/Abstract |
It’s been 20 years, and “1325” are perhaps the best known numbers among the thousands of UN resolutions.
It all started when Sanam Anderlini, a young woman who worked at International Alert in London, came to The Hague Appeal for Peace conference in May 1999. An informal group of women met to talk about women and peace, and Sanam suggested that we make a proposal to the Security Council, which had previously passed a resolution on children. At a follow-up meeting in June 2000, a handful of us met at UNIFEM, which since has become UN WOMEN, and drafted what became United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325.
