The committee is a convener of\nglobal civil society for the annual UN Commission on the Status of Women and global gender equality advocacy. The UN Security Council Resolution 1325\, adopted in October 2000\, marked a historic moment in the global commitment to advancing gender equality and promoting the leadership of women at all levels of decision-making. This resolution recognizes the disproportionate impact of armed conflicts on women and emphasizes the importance of their leadership in conflict prevention\, resolution\, and peacebuilding processes.
