Following the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2025, the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda now enters its next quarter century. This milestone offers a critical moment to reflect on achievements and assess what is needed to ensure the agenda’s future relevance and impact.

The conversation will explore which strategic priorities, policy innovations, and partnerships are needed to strengthen WPS implementation over the next quarter century.
