Dear distinguished followers, it is a great pleasure and an honour for me to launch the EUTM Mali campaign to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 “Women, peace and security”.
This resolution acknowledges the vital role of women in conflict and crisis management as well as in peace-building and reconstruction. This gives the resolution a unique importance and throughout the years it became the centerpiece of a global movement. Inter alia it confirmed the relevance of routinely including gender perspectives when executing peacekeeping missions.
