UN Women's Mandate and Implementation of WPS Agenda: Focus on Arab States and Jordan National Action Plan

• UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) #1325 on Women, Peace and Security (2000) calls for greater participation of women in peace processes and conflict resolutions, and urges all actors to protect women and girls from gender-based violence (GBV).
• UN Women has the mandate for the implementation of the WPS agenda, and advocates with Member States for its full implementation.
• UN Women fosters women's peace coalitions, strengthens justice and security institutions that protect women and girls from violence and discrimination, and supports public services to ensure they are fully responsive to women's needs.
• The UN Women Global Study on 1325 (2015) reinforces the Security Council's original recognition of the power of engaging women in peace and highlights the interlinkages between conflict, security, and women's rights.
• The study shows that women's participation and inclusion makes humanitarian assistance more effective, strengthens the protection efforts of peacekeepers, contributes to the conclusion of peace, accelerates economic recovery, and helps counter violent extremism.
• The study recommends that all relevant actors support and invest in participatory processes, social accountability tools, and localization initiatives to ensure the voices of the most affected and marginalized populations inform and shape relevant responses and monitoring of progress.
• In Arab States, stronger women's influence on peace processes increases the chance of successful implementation of agreements, and more female judges and targeted reparations can bring positive change toward transformative justice.
• Women's presence in the security sector lowers rates of misconduct, improper use of force, and inappropriate use of weapons, and women's engagement in various sectors leads to better quality services for both men and women.
• The WPS agenda is about ending conflict, not about making conflict safer for women, and extremist groups attack the rights of women and girls.
• Jordan National Action Plan (JONAP) for the implementation of UNSCR 1325 focuses on achieving meaningful participation of women in the security sector and in peace operations, preventing radicalization and violent extremism, ensuring gender-sensitive humanitarian services, and fostering a community culture that recognizes the gender needs and the role of women in peace and security.
• JONAP is important for Jordan as a champion of peacekeeping and peacemaking, for women as active agents in peace building and peacekeeping, for countering threats of violent extremism, and for responding to the Syrian Refugee Crisis.
• JONAP I (2018-2021) was implemented through gender audit of the security sector, targeted skills trainings for women in the security sector, educational lectures on the role of military women, trainings for military personnel on UNSCR 1325 and gender awareness, and nationwide advocacy campaign to raise awareness of the WPS Agenda.
