This bill commemorates the 20th anniversary of the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, which urges member states to increase women's representation in institutions and mechanisms to prevent, mitigate, and resolve conflict.
Further, it reaffirms the U.S. commitment to serve as a global leader in increasing the participation of women in processes to prevent, manage, resolve, and recover from conflict, and it calls on countries to promote the participation of women at all decisionmaking levels as a critical foreign and domestic policy priority.
