UN Security Council Resolution 1325, popularly known as the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda (WPS), was first adopted in 2000, making 2025 its twenty-fifth anniversary. The resolution, later supported by nine additional supporting resolutions, advances four key pillars: participation, protection, prevention, and relief and recovery. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by violent conflict but are generally excluded from peace processes. The WPS resolutions aim to change that. They are good morality, as they expand the aperture for women’s representation and inclusion in peace and security processes. And they are also good policy, as women’s participation creates more constituents for peace and more durable peace.
This special issue of the Journal of Moral Theology invites essays examining the WPS through the perspective of the Catholic Church, in light of the WPS twenty-fifth anniversary. This may include analyses, criticisms, recommendations, connections, possibilities, or mappings, and it may include perspectives that are local, national, regional, or global.
