October 2010 marks ten years since the passage of UN Security Council resolution 1325, a landmark legal and political framework that acknowledges the importance of the participation of women and the inclusion of gender perspectives in peace negotiations, humanitarian planning, peacekeeping operations, post-conflict peace-building and governance. In commemoration of the anniversary, women peace activists from 25 conflict-affected countries participated in UN-led Global Open Days worldwide, calling for women's participation in peace-building, women's protection and ending sexual violence in times of conflict. This video series represents just some of the many voices in the call to make women count for peace.
