Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 25
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Various Security Council resolutions address issues of particular relevance to IDW, including access to protection and assistance; sexual violence; trafficking; and peace, reconciliation and development. The Council's resolutions on women, peace and security, including its landmark resolution 1325 (2000), are particularly important tools for strengthening and systematizing responses to the rights and needs of IDW. The development of national action plans for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) represents a valuable opportunity to include and engage IDW. To date, 35 national Governments, as well as the European Union, OSCE and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), have approved action plans, while numerous others are in the drafting phase. Several countries facing internal displacement have developed plans, including Côte d'Ivoire, Georgia, Nepal and the Philippines. Concerted support for the effective implementation of these action plans is essential to ensure that their potential benefits for IDW are maximized.
