This Security Council resolution aims to strengthen women’s role in all stages of conflict prevention and resolution. This text places the onus of providing women with seats at the peace table on Member States, regional organizations, and the United Nations itself. The focus of the resolution is on the need to consistently implement resolution 1325(2000) – the women, peace, and security agenda – in its own work, and invites a review on its implementation. It was enacted to respond to the deficits in the agenda in the areas of: protection from human rights abuses, opportunities for women to exercise leadership, and the capacities and commitment of all actors to implement resolution 1325(2000) to advance women’s participation and protection. The resolution requested more updates and regular briefings on issues relating to this agenda, as well as information on the impact of armed conflict on women and girls.
