ABSTRACT
It has been more than fifteen years since UNSC Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security passed, the culmination of women activists’ hard work to change the discourse and practices regarding post-conflict peacebuilding and women’s role in it. UNSCR 1325 has become a platform – a paradigm I call engendered security – which outlines what women’s security entails.2 But one cannot help but think about before 1325 and how women addressed their security concerns prior to a more unified security apparatus to aid in their organization and activism.
