Essay Contest on Women

Hello, everyone! I came across this brilliant opportunity through my professional network and I wanted to share it with you! Particularly if you are into women’s rights and UNSCR 1325, you should grab this chance!

The NGOs Women in International Security (WIIS) and Heinrich Böll Foundation Washington, DC are organizing an international essay contest in celebration of the ratification of UNSCR 1325. The contest, named as “1325 and Beyond”, is for graduate students and young professionals only and includes monetary awards.

The topic is “how best to move the objectives of UNSCR 1325 and the WPS agenda forward in the 2020s, given the successes and failures of the last two decades”.

As there are specific requirements, I advise you to visit the page of the contest here.

Good luck!
