Women Peace and Security, or WPS, is an international agenda that has come through a series of resolutions adopted at the United Nations Security Council. Much of the analysis of WPS therefore focuses on the Security Council. However the international architecture is sprawling, with many different mechanisms, treaties, fora, and institutions. Some of these overlap and are set up in complementary ways with WPS, whereas others are fully separate and appear to have few linkages. It can be a confusing maze, but it also provides different avenues for change to advance gender, peace and security objectives. In this episode, we are joined by Kseniya Kirichenko, United Nations Programme Manager at ILGA World and May Sabe Phyu, Director of Gender Equality Network (GEN) Myanmar. Gen Myanmar is a member of the Leap4Peace consortium. Kseninya and May bring years of experience of engaging with different multilateral systems, including treaty bodies and special procedures.
