• Resumen

  • On the one hand the UN Resolution 1325 "Women Peace and Security“ will provide protection from violence for women.

    On the other hand it promotes women’s participation in peace and democratizationprocesses.

    Thetensionbetween governmental duties to protect and the political participation of women is not solved by the UN.

    Women’s organisations in post-conflict societies are confronted with this dilemma.

    In addition, they have to cope with serious problems to enforce the resolution, as the case studies of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia reveal. Though the Liberian government works on women politics there is no guarantee to realize the resolution. There is a big gap between legal reforms and the violent living conditions of women and girls especially in rural areas.
