During this course students will learn about the events and actors that shaped UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on WPS globally and in the U.S. They will also learn why WPS is important to national security, and about the DOD's role in fulfilling the U.S. WPS guidance. This is the first of two courses on WPS implementation.
