Summary
The Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda, established in 2015 with the adoption of the UNSCR 2250, further recognizes the significant positive contributions of young people to international peace and security. It urges stakeholders to actively engage young people, including young women, in decision-making at the local, national, regional and international levels and establish mechanisms to ensure their meaningful participation in peace processes.

The "Uniting for Peace: Promoting Synergies Between WPS and YPS" side-event, held in recognition of the 23rd Anniversary of UNSCR 1325, will provide a platform for constructive intergenerational dialogue, highlighting the interconnected challenges faced by young women in the peace and security community.
The event underscores the synergy between WPS and YPS as two complementary agendas that must be addressed together, rather than in isolation. The two agendas converge and mutually reinforce each other in ways that are crucial for a more comprehensive approach in the building of a more inclusive and sustainable peace and security.
