The concept of "Women, Peace, and Security" (WPS) is a framework developed by the United Nations to address the unique impact of conflict on women and the importance of their participation in peace and security processes. It outlines a set of principles and practices aimed at ensuring the protection, participation, and rights of women in conflict-affected areas. The following are key aspects of the roles and responsibilities related to the Women, Peace, and Security agenda:

Protection: Women in conflict areas are often vulnerable to various forms of violence, including sexual violence, human trafficking, and displacement. The WPS framework emphasizes the need to protect women from such threats and promote their safety.

Participation: Women's active participation in peace negotiations, conflict resolution, and post-conflict reconstruction is crucial. This includes representation in political, social, and economic decision-making processes. Women can serve in various roles, including as negotiators, mediators, and leaders in peacebuilding initiatives.

Prevention: The WPS agenda also calls for efforts to prevent conflicts and mitigate their impact on women and girls. This involves addressing the root causes of conflict, such as gender-based discrimination and inequality, and promoting gender equality as a means to reduce the likelihood of violent conflicts.

Response: When conflicts do occur, there must be a gender-responsive approach to humanitarian and post-conflict efforts. This means providing women with access to essential services, legal assistance, and support for survivors of gender-based violence.

Policy and Advocacy: Women, Peace, and Security often involve policy development and advocacy at local, national, and international levels. Advocates and policymakers work to ensure that the WPS agenda is integrated into the policies and actions of governments and organizations involved in peace and security efforts.

Research and Data Collection: Collecting and analyzing data related to the impact of conflict on women and the participation of women in peace and security processes is an important aspect of this agenda. This information informs decision-making and helps to shape effective policies and programs.

Capacity Building: Various initiatives focus on building the capacity of women and women's organizations in conflict-affected areas. This includes training in negotiation skills, leadership, and conflict resolution.

Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about the Women, Peace, and Security agenda is essential to promote its goals and principles. Educational programs and campaigns aim to inform the public and policymakers about the importance of women's involvement in peace and security efforts.

Improving the effectiveness of our foreign policy and assistance efforts across the board by proactively integrating the needs and perspectives of women, and empowering women to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes at all levels on international peace, security, and prosperity.
