Summary/Abstract: This essay aims to contribute to the current debate regarding women, peace and security. The international political and academic community is increasingly becoming aware of the critical role that women play in building peace in conflict and post-conflict societies. However, women’s peacebuilding activities are generally located in the informal sector and are lacking visibility and social recognition. The UN Security Council Resolution is watershed documents that empowers women and recognises and promotes women’s role in peacebuilding on formal and informal level, locally and globally. After offering a general overview of the connections between women and peace and the UNSCR 1325, the essay will concentrate on the advances and challenges in promoting women within the peace and security agenda in the Republic of Macedonia.
