The series offers a home for interdisciplinary research on Women, Peace and Security in theory and practice. The Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda was established with the adoption of Resolution 1325 by the UN Security Council in 2000. UNSCR1325 highlighted the need to consolidate data and knowledge on the differential impact of violence and inequality on women and girls, men and boys during and after armed conflict and to highlight the potential of inclusive peace-making to prevent, end and recover from wars.
The series features scholarly studies that examine these gendered impacts of violence and inequality in global, regional, and local peace and security contexts. It highlights research that investigates how Women, Peace and Security is put into practice as well as contested by a diverse array of actors including security and development practitioners, peacekeepers and peacebuilders, diplomats, advocacy networks and social movements.
