Application Deadline: Monday 12 August 2019 at 23.59 GMT.
2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the UN Security Council’s landmark resolution1325 (2000) on women, peace and security. The
resolution recognized that conflict affects women differently and that
addressing the needs, views and participation of half of humanity would
provide a positive peace dividend.
As part of this 20th anniversary, the African Union and United
Nations are collaborating to publish a commemorative book that aims to
create a space for women who have been involved in maintaining and
promoting peace and security on the continent to have their voices heard
and their stories told. This book also seeks to send a message of
encouragement to the next generation of African women to claim their
rightful place in history and create the ‘Africa they want’.
A chapter will be dedicated to each woman who is featured in this
book and she will have an opportunity to write her own story. Upon
request, an AU-UN team will assist in the story telling process for
women who seek support.
Requirements:
Any woman, young or seasoned, who has been a force of change when it comes to maintaining and promoting peace and security in her capacity at community, national, regional and/or continental levels.
Think of a woman who has provided traditional and religious
leadership; the peacemakers in communities; women promoting restorative
justice and facilitating post-conflict reconstruction; mediators;
activists; feminists; and human rights champions. In short, think of a
woman who has engaged in any/all of the four pillars of UNSCR 1325
including, (i) participation, (ii) protection, (iii) prevention and (iv)
relief and recovery in conflict situations or peace-building processes.
