Abstract
This chapter introduces the concept of women born equal and its theoretical foundation in social change. The chapter acknowledges the development of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 within the global framework of Women, Peace and Security (WPS). The WPS framework is anchored in five tenets: (1) increased participation and representation of women at all levels of decision-making; (2) attention to specific protection needs of women and girls in conflict; (3) a gender perspective in post-conflict processes; (4) a gender perspective in UN programming and reporting, and in SC missions; and (5) gender perspectives and training in UN peace support operations. These tenets are reinforced by the three pillars (popularly known as the “3Ps”); protection, prevention and participation. Together with relief and recovery, the three pillars form the basis of analysis throughout this volume.
