Overview 
The Women in Conflict 1325 Fellowship, run by Beyond Borders Scotland and Edinburgh Law School is based around the principles of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) which “reaffirms the role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflict, peace negotiations, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and in post-conflict reconstruction, and stresses the importance of their equal participation in all efforts for the promotion of peace and security”. 

The WiC 1325 Fellowship Programme aims to:  
  • provide a platform enabling the sharing of experiences in relation to UNSCR 1325 and the global Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda; women’s roles in peace building and conflict resolution; and gender equality;  
  • facilitate peer to peer learning, providing a safe space for Fellows to learn from each other through sharing experiences, ideas and challenges faced in their different contexts;  
  • explore the equal and meaningful participation of women in peace building, peace processes, and more widely in society, including identifying challenges and entry points;  
  • facilitate a network of women engaged in an on-going learning and experience-sharing process, building a sustainable and evolving alumnae community;  
  • provide guidance on various topics including: mediation; conflict analysis; transitional justice; gender equality; mental health and self-care; and policy advocacy.  
The October programme will focus on peacebuilding and women's meaningful participation in peacebuilding processes. The week-long residential programme will explore topics related to peacebuilding such as mediation, self-care, arts as a tool for peace, the gender-climate-conflict nexus, and dialogue methodologies with an emphasis on inclusivity and sustainable conflict resolution.
Beyond Borders Scotland believes that a diverse range of voices and experiences strengthens peacebuilding efforts for everyone and welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We especially encourage those with accessibility needs to apply.
