Abstract: This paper provides an in-depth review of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) on Women, Peace and Security (WPS), from the landmark UNSCR 1325 in 2000 to the UNSCR 2493 in 2019. By analysing key components and contrasting the principal asks of these resolutions, the paper aims to assess how they have shaped regional and national discussions on women’s role in peace and security. It critically examines the African and Nigerian contexts, where the impact of violent conflict on women and their participation in peace processes is especially pronounced. The study draws upon a systemic review of existing literature to underscore the disproportionate negative effect of armed conflict on women and girls while highlighting the often-overlooked role of women as active agents of peace. Ultimately, the paper concludes that for United Nations peacekeeping efforts to succeed and for sustained peace to be achieved, the unique insights, experiences, and capacities of women must be acknowledged and incorporated across all levels of peace operations.
