This OxPeace annual Day-Conference explores developments in peacebuilding at all levels, and in particular in the involvement of women, in the 25 years since UNSC Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and the 30 years since the 1995 Beijing Declaration on the rights of women. Examples from different areas and levels will be explored, from Track 3 (grassroots) to Tracks 2 (regional, or confidential contacts) and Track 1 (national politics, international diplomacy). Several speakers will present fresh research. This day offers a feast of information and reflection on the significant and growing field of peacebuilding, with a special focus on the roles of women. Come and enjoy, with fellow students, academics, practitioners, and policy-makers.
