Paper - Women, Peace, and Security (EDP Sep 14)

The non-governmental organization known as Equality for Peace and Democracy (EDP) (www.epd-afg.org) has published a paper entitled "Women, Peace, and Security in Afghanistan: Looking Back to move Forward". The paper, published in September 2014, revisits the Peace Process Roadmap to 2015 from the High Peace Council as a means of looking back in order to determine how to move forward. The paper outlines the major challenges to women's involvement in peace and security. The Equality for Peace and Democracy organization " . . . recommends that the political, international and civil society actors focus on mechanisms that allow for a greater grassroots contribution to the peace process".
