In the run up to the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325 (2000)) Women In International Security (WIIS) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Washington, DC are launching an international graduate student essay competition ‘1325AndBeyond’. The essay contest is intended to highlight innovative and imaginative ideas and strategies to achieve the objectives of 1325 in the 2020s.

The top five essays will be recognized and will receive a monetary award. If you are interested in this unique opportunity, please visit the WIIS Global website for full information. The final deadline for submissions is April 15th 2020 at midnight EST.
