The overall aim of this policy brief is to assess the implementation of the women, peace and security (WPS) policy framework in the work of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. The analysis and recommendations build on our well-established policy guidance project, the Monthly Action Points (MAP) on Women, Peace and Security, as well as broader advocacy throughout 2019. This policy brief also highlights key trends that are addressed by the recommendations presented in the NGO Working Group’s 2020 Civil Society Roadmap on Women, Peace and Security.
