Tiivistelmä
The main aim of Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security and subsequent resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council is to enhance women’s role and decision-making capability with regard to conflict prevention, resolution and peacebuilding, and to significantly improve the security of women and the factors influencing it. In addition to the requirements specific to women and girls, the needs of men and boys should also be taken into account. The resolutions on Women, Peace and Security cover a vast area of action and are fundamental to the implementation of all three pillars of the United Nations — Peace and Security, Development and Human Rights.
The objectives of the third National Action Plan by Finland covering the years 2018-2021 are: 1. Women play a more meaningful role and there is more emphasis on mainstreaming the gender perspective in mediation, peace processes and transition processes 2. Women play a more meaningful role in conflict prevention and peacebuilding 3. Mainstreaming of the gender perspective is more integrated into the security sector and crisis management 4. Women and girls receive better protection, their rights are better safeguarded and their needs are better met during crises.
Finland is strongly committed to the 1325-agenda. Various administrative branches are extensively involved in the implementation of the Action Plan. Civil society actors in both Finland and crisis regions play a key role in the implementation, follow-up and evaluation of the Action Plan. Implementation of the National Action Plan is systematically monitored
