The Philippines will host an International Conference on Women, Peace, and Security on 28-30 October 2024 in Manila with the theme, "Forging Collaboration and Convergence for Advancing Women, Peace, and Security". The conference is to serve as an international stocktaking on the implementation of the women, peace, and security (WPS) agenda ahead of the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325). It aims to contribute to efforts to carve pathways and develop collaborative strategies for overcoming barriers to women’s full and meaningful participation in peacemaking and the mainstreaming of gender in the promotion of peace and security.
