How can a global vision for peace security and gender equality take root in communities shaped by conflict and resilience?
The Foundations of Women, Peace & Security (WPS) Handbook explores this question through Cambodia’s unique journey, from its leadership in peacekeeping to the legacy of transitional justice and the rise of grassroots women’s movements. Grounded in the principles of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, this handbook offers a practical, context-specific guide to implementing the WPS agenda in meaningful and transformative ways. Structured around the four pillars of WPS, Prevention, Protection, Participation, and Relief & Recovery, this resource highlights both the challenges and successes of localising global frameworks. It integrates intersectional perspectives, including youth and climate security, and provides actionable strategies for policymakers, civil society, and peacebuilders. Whether you are a practitioner, advocate, or policymaker, this book is a practical tool for embedding gender justice at the heart of peace and governance in Cambodia and beyond.
