PeaceWomen Across the Globe launched the exhibition «No Women – No Peace» to mark the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325. It was on display for first time in the Delegate Hall of the UN General Assembly Building in New York (2010). Since then, the exhibition has drawn the attention of numerous visitors in the world.
Women are especially concerned about war and violence. Across the globe, women actively work to find and create peaceful solutions to violent conflicts. History clearly demonstrates that real peace and security are only possible when women are involved in peace processes, bringing their experiences and needs to the table.
In 2000, the UN Security Council recognized this by adopting Resolution 1325 on «Women, Peace and Security», demanding the inclusion of women in all peace negotiations. Ten years later, we are still very far away from this goal. Hopes and expectations remain unfulfilled.
Today, the 1000 PeaceWomen nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 turn yet again to the UN Security Council, to UN member states and to the public with an urgent demand: Implement Resolution 1325 now!
The exhibition is available to all women’s and peace organizations worldwide.
«No Women – No Peace» is presented in three parts:
- Posters about the history and contents of the Resolution 1325, including translations of the first demand of the resolution, examples of Good Practice and short biographies of and quotes by PeaceWomen.
The posters are available in English, German , French , Spanish and Arabic.
- DVD with video statements of 31 PeaceWomen from 17 countries on Resolution 1325 in their original languages with English subtitles.
- 1000 postcards with impressive portraits of the 1000 women from 150 countries who were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
