The domestication of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 by the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development is a step towards echoing government's commitment as well as its responsibility in ensuring peace and security for women and children. It underscores the significance of the equal participation and involvement of women in peace building, peacekeeping, conflict resolution and management. There is therefore a clear need for women to play a positive role in peace-building and conflict resolution which is the focus of this document.
