The CSO “Democracy Development Center” Supported the Agenda of Women, Peace and Security International Conference, which was held in Sarajevo on 12-13 June, 2025. Conference participants formulated recommendations for governments to renew and provide national plans for resolution 1325:
“We underline that militarization, climate crisis and ecological degradation are linked threats to human security, gender equality, and lasting peace. These crises deepen inequalities, especially for women and marginalized groups, and weaken the foundations of positive peace. Militarization diverts resources from human development and inclusive governance, while environmental harm drives displacement and unrest. A gender-responsive peace agenda must address these interconnected challenges by promoting demilitarization, ecological justice, and community resilience. We urge their integration into all peacebuilding, early warning, and recovery efforts, calling on governments, the UN, and financial institutions to adopt sustainable, intersectional approaches.
We pledge to ensure that our recommendations contribute to shaping the upcoming UN Security Council Open Debate on Women, Peace, and Security in October 2025.
We strongly recommend a renewed commitment to the promises made in 2000, reshaping pledges into tangible actions across seven priority areas.”
