Women's full participation the KEY to peace

 
The foundation for creating a lasting culture of peace is actually in place viz. recognition that the involvement of women is key to the effort:

In 2000, the Security Council UNANIMOUSLY recognized that
equal access and full participation of women in all layers of power structures, as well as their full participation... in prevention and resolution of conflicts were essential elements for making and sustaining peace.

Now, let's only make it happen!

‘Abdu’l-Bahá has stated in this regard:
[Woman] will be the greatest factor in establishing universal peace and international arbitration.
(PUP 108)

It was a historic moment for the United Nations when, 10 years ago, the Security Council unanimously recognised "the intrinsic role of women in global peace and security" through Resolution 1325
