A Letter to the Future: To those who will mark UNSCR1325+50 in the year 2050

In the year 2000, the world made a landmark promise through UN Security Council Resolution 1325: to recognize the crucial role of women in peace and security. As we look toward the year 2050—the 50th anniversary of this resolution—we find ourselves at a critical crossroads.

"A Letter to the Future" is a visionary call to action that gathers voices from grassroots activists, survivors, policy makers, and youth leaders. This collection acts as a living archive, documenting the pulse of the global Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda in a time of unprecedented global challenge.

It bridges the gap between today’s peacebuilders and the leaders of 2050. Marking the midpoint to the 50th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, this initiative captures the hopes, warnings, and strategies of the global Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) movement. It serves as both a time capsule of our current struggles and a roadmap for a gender-equal, peaceful future.
