The gap between rhetoric and implementation is exactly what I want to
talk about. Sanam described the flurry of activity and really intentional,
dogged advocacy of civil society in getting this foundational resolution
passed, 1325, and lo and behold, there was no immediate and dramatic change,
and there has not been since then. But there have been some ways that
countries and civil society have reacted to try to get us closer to that
implementation, and one of those has been a focus on and a creation of what
are called national action plans on Women, Peace, and Security, on the
implementation of 1325; countries name them different things. And for those
who are not familiar, they are usually basically just a multi-agency
strategy, ideally with an implementation plan that spans a range of
departments, agencies, and includes any spectrum of things. They can call
for more women to be appointed mediators, for more support to women's groups
for conflict prevention, meeting the unique physical needs of women in
humanitarian crises or refugee camps. Some countries say they want to deploy
more women to peacekeeping missions, recruit more female police officers,
provide support to people raped during war, training security forces, et
cetera. There is a broad range of things that are included in them.
