Özet
The Women, Peace and Security agenda in Africa stems from the UNSC S/ RES/1325 and nine other landmark UNSC resolutions on women, peace and security which provide a framework for women’s participation in conflict resolution, peacekeeping, and peace-building. The resolutions attempt to ensure that women’s rights in conflict zones are protected and that war crimes against women are prosecuted. They also call for more women in conflict mediation, peace talks, and security forces - in overseeing cease-fires and in peace-building institutions. What is the state of the WPS agenda in Africa and how has it been impacted by global developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and the climate change crisis? This paper tries to answer these questions and argues that these global occurrences have destabilizing effects on the lives of women and the activities and actions undertaken to effectively implement the WPS agenda in Africa and ends with some policy suggestions aimed at addressing these challenges.
