Description du cours

Free Tuition for All! Recently Updated!

While informative for any student interested in the topic, this course was specially designed for those who work in the area of peace and security at the national or regional levels in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and require a practical tool to support the implementation of the women, peace, and security agenda. The first three lessons broadly focus on the role the United Nations plays in promoting peace and security, highlighting the importance of employing a gender perspective in the field and the role of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions. Within this context, Lessons 4 and 5 highlight the challenges and priorities specific to LAC. Finally, Lesson 6 examines the role of regional and subregional organizations in facilitating the national implementation of the resolutions.

This updated edition of the course covers best practices for gender mainstreaming, recent National Action Plans across LAC, and evolving strategies for enhancing women’s meaningful political participation in the region. Six lessons, 198 pages.

This course was developed by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) in collaboration with POTI.

The Institute thanks Jennifer Wittwer, CSM, and Colonel (Retired) Jesus Ignacio Gil Ruiz for their valuable contributions to this course.

"I appreciated how the course provided a comprehensive overview of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda within the specific regional context of Latin America and the Caribbean. It effectively highlighted the progress made, the challenges faced, and the unique sociopolitical dynamics that shape the implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions such as 1325. The use of case studies, local perspectives, and examples of grassroots initiatives made the learning process both relevant and engaging. The course did a great job emphasizing the importance of localizing the WPS agenda and recognizing the role of indigenous and Afro-descendant women in peacebuilding. I found the section on regional mechanisms—such as the role of organizations like CELAC and the efforts of national action plans (NAPs)—especially insightful. It would be helpful to include more interactive elements such as interviews with practitioners from the region or short video case studies to bring the content to life. I also appreciated the attention given to intersectionality and the way structural inequalities (such as gender-based violence, displacement, and poverty) intersect with peace and security concerns. Overall, the course deepened my understanding of how global frameworks can be adapted and implemented in specific cultural and political contexts."

"Recomiendo este curso a todo funcionario policial, militar o servidor público comprometido con la paz, la equidad y los derechos humanos. La formación entrega una visión clara y profunda sobre la Agenda Mujeres, Paz y Seguridad, y cómo implementarla en contextos reales de América Latina y el Caribe. El enfoque está bien fundamentado en resoluciones de la ONU y ofrece una base sólida para comprender los desafíos que enfrentan las mujeres en contextos de conflicto y posconflicto. Sin duda, es una herramienta valiosa para quienes trabajamos en el terreno y buscamos incorporar un enfoque de género en nuestras funciones diarias."
