Summary/Abstract: The UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) “Women, Peace and Security” is the first Security Council Resolution which deals specifically with the effects of armed conflict on women and girls, with the role and contribution of women in conflict prevention and conflict resolution, and with achieving sustainable peace. One of the key areas of the Resolution deals with increasing the number of women in security structures and with increased participation at all levels of decision-making. That is a precondition for a larger degree of inclusion of the gender equality perspective into the security sector, and for greater protection of and respect for the human rights of women and girls, both in a war, and in the processes aimed to achieve peace and security. It was especially emphasised in Resolution 1325 that women and girls are especially vulnerable during armed conflict, which requires increased protection for women and girls. The UNSC Resolution 1325 consists of 18 points, and their content may be grouped into four pillars (Monari, 2018)
