This is the crux of Women’s History Month, and why it is celebrated each year. As Canadians we are fortunate to come from a nation that has implemented a feminist foreign policy. A nation that recognizes the necessity of initiatives such as the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security, which reaf- firms – among many things – the role that women play in conflict resolution and global security. UNSCR1325 turns 20 years old on Oct. 31, 2020, and is yet another reason to celebrate this month.
