Chicago Summit
Declaration 2012
“Widespread sexual and gender-based
violence in conflict situations, the lack of
effective institutional arrangements to protect
women, and the continued underrepresentation of women in peace processes,
remain serious impediments to building
sustainable peace. We remain committed to
the full implementation of United Nations
Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on
Women, Peace and Security and related
Resolutions which are aimed at protecting and
promoting women’s rights, role, and
participation in preventing and ending
conflict”

being affected differently by an
