Resolution 1325 is used around the world as a policy tool to implement gender-sensitive conflict-related policies . It is also used as an organizing framework for actors outside of the United Nations , such as states , NGOs , and researchers , in a way that no other Security Council resolution has been used . For example , it is the only resolution to have its anniversary celebrated with reports , conferences , and special sessions of the Security Council , as well as the only resolution with NGOs dedicated to its implementation . Since 2000 , women , peace , and security has become an important topic in international politics , undoubtedly fueled by the resolution 's passage and subsequent advocacy for its implementation , as well as increased attention to sexual violence in armed conflict . Another major landmark was the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize , awarded to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , Leymah Gbowee , and Tawakkol Karman " for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women 's rights to full participation in peace-building work " . As the topic of women and war became more prominent , more policy-making bodies turned to the resolution and supported it
