Abstract

This article reflects upon the impact of UNSCR 1325 on Afghan women. The resolution strongly promotes that women’s meaningful participation in decision-making and direct involvement in peace process comes after enabling them in other spheres of life. The success lies in the fact that it encourages and facilitates their equal and full participation at ground level and eventually preparing them for national and international level decision-making. Hence, it is a process of different steps and stages interwoven together to acknowledge and use women as essential partners in peace and security issues. Afghanistan National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 is gradually attempting to mainstream women’s untapped contribution, skills and resource into grass root community development. The article criticizes the conspicuous absence of women from peace tables and also highlights the progress and prospects of resolution on other important fronts leading to final goal.
