After years of neglect, Denmark vows to promote women’s role in peace building

From a leadership position 15 years ago, Denmark has “explicitly de-prioritised” its commitment to UN Resolution 1325 on the protection of women’s rights in conflicts and the participation of women in peace processes, according to an evaluation. Development Minister Rasmus Prehn accepts the “harsh” criticism and vows to revitalise the Danish role in women, peace and security.
