Description
Summary:The role of women in peace and security from the grassroots level is extremely important, because women are the preliminary victims in the war or insurgency. Since 2000, the UNSC subsequently adopted ten resolutions on women peace and security, to engender the peace and security processes to make it productive, however, the implementation of those resolutions can be called into question. In KP, multiple challenges disallowed the women to play their role in peace building. The most difficult challenge among all is the patriarchal cultural norms, models, attitudes, and behaviors towards women. It is very difficult for women in KP to bypass the cultural challenges. And henceforth, it influences the other challenges as well: women's access to education, economic activities and political participation, etc. In the presence of these challenges, the significant inclusion of women in peace and security process is a monumental proposition. Overall this paper has analyzed the key challenges in implementing the UN resolutions on women, peace and security.
