WOMEN, PEACE, AND SECURITY: AN ASSESSMENT OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 1325 IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES IN DIFFERENT PEACEBUILDING CONTEXTS Mejía, Mariana González Gender mainstreaming gender-based violence institutional challenges post-conflict settings women’s empowerment This article examines the impact of policies inspired by UNSCR 1325 on women’s participation in peace and security processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, and the Philippines. Through a comparative analysis, the study identifies common challenges such as structural barriers, cultural resistance, and inconsistent policy implementation. Despite progress in formal inclusion, the practical influence of women remains limited. The findings highlight the need for stronger institu tional support, sustained funding, and cultural change to fully realize the transformative potential of gender-inclusive peacebuilding.
