Women, Peace & Security forms part of the International Women's Equality section of Canada's Foreign Affairs website. These pages outline Canada's policy on gender and its commitment to promoting and protecting women's rights in situations of armed conflict. Canada's efforts have primarily focused on integrating a gender-sensitive approach to peace building and human security efforts within the major regional and international organizations. In addition to providing information on Canadian efforts in the field of women, peace and security, this section of the Foreign Affairs website also has links to United Nations and NGO initiatives and information on Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security.
