POTI And UN-Women

In collaboration with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), the Peace Operations Training Institute offers a three-course suite on the implementation of the Security Council resolutions on the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. In continued support of these emblematic resolutions, the Peace Operations Training Institute and UN-Women have partnered to develop and distribute a unique e-learning opportunity.

UN-Women Deputy Executive Director Åsa Regnér calls each course “a practical tool to enable policymakers, practitioners, and civil society to understand the unique impact of conflict on women and women’s roles as agents of change in peace and security efforts”.

In October 2000, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1325, which signalled a turning point in understanding and recognizing the role of women and girls in issues of peace and security. Nine subsequent resolutions have reaffirmed the Security Council’s commitment to women’s rights. The year 2021 marked over two decades since the adoption of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325.

This three-course suite aims to raise awareness of the ten Security Council resolutions on Women, Peace, and Security in order to build capacities for their implementation and to promote sustainable practices and policies at the regional and national levels. Each course focuses on the efforts, challenges, and prospects of this agenda in one region of the world: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
