This year, the Gender Learning Day 2019 was held as a conference, organized by cfd – the feminist peace organization, PeaceWomen Across the Globe (PWAG) and the Swiss Platform for Peacebuilding KOFF in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) on the topic Women, Peace and Security: Reclaim Prevention!
The day focused on the critical reflection of the implementation of the Swiss National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security (NAP) 1325 – in the spirit and as a result of the project “Civil Society Contribution to the Implementation of the Swiss NAP 1325”. The conference shed light on its political relevance at the domestic and international level from a variety of perspectives and contexts. It brought together renewed experts from civil society, academia, and state institutions to discuss the following questions:
- How can civil society play a role in shaping the debates on Women, Peace and Security to strengthen the link between policy and practice, in Switzerland and beyond? To what extent are women involved in decision-making about peace and security at community, national and international levels?
- How is the Swiss NAP 1325 reflective of peacebuilding and violence prevention work on the ground? What are the implications of linking Women, Peace and Security (WPE) and the prevention of violent extremism (PVE)?

Switzerland advocates for women to play an active role in conflict prevention and peace processes, in reconstruction efforts and in post-conflict reconciliation. At the same time, women should be better protected - especially from sexual violence. Switzerland reaffirms this commitment in its fourth national action plan, 2018-2022.
