The Canadian Voice of Women held an excellent session this morning, with Marilou McPedran as the speaker, to review the different Security Council resolutions (1325, 1820, 1888, and 1889. Marilou spoke about the process that lead to the Security Council Resolution 1325 - very much civil society driven, women driven. From that, there has been a "narrowing" to deal with the specific issues around sexual violence during war, rape as a weapon of war. Now it is widening again, to bring us back to the principles, a more holistic approach, the 1325 - like an accordion.
