Through partnerships with civil society organizations, efforts have been deployed in order to solidify their social participation in the country's political and economic life. The non-governmental organization Peace Roots was born with the objective ofbringing together women from all political parties represented in Parliament to participate in the efforts to consolidate peace and democracy. Also, an association called Pro-Change Country was established to raise awareness among men of the need to eradicate all forms of gender-based violence.”

  6. “However, obstacles and Challenges still persist that prevent the full implementation of this agenda when it comes to the implementation of the four pillars of resolution 1325 (2000), namely, prevention, protection, participation and peacebuilding and recovery. In Angola, women's participation was a decisive factor in efforts to achieve peace. The post-conflict experience was confirmed in their direct involvement in the peacebuilding efforts. It also showed that they were instrumental in providing psychological support to the victims of the armed conflict as counsellors of peace for national reconciliation and social harmony.”

Over the years, the Security Council has proved its invaluable commitment to furthering the women and peace and security agenda by adopting several resolutions, including in the area of leadership in conflict prevention and resolution and post-conflict peacebuilding.”
