UN-INSTRAW has hosted several virtual discussions in the area of Gender, Peace and Security. These Virtual Discussions bring together people from around the world to stimulate ongoing discussions and debates,  as well as to share good practices and experiences on relevant gender, peace and security topics. The discussions provide an opportunity for participants to share knowledge, gain information and build connections for further research and action. 
 
The most recent Virtual Discussion on Gender, Peace and Security, "Planning for Action: Good Practices on Implementing Resolution 1325 at the National Level," was held from 3 - 21 November 2008. The Discussion brought together policy-makers, government representatives and civil society actors from around the world. The aim of the dialogue was to highlight existing efforts for the implementation of Resolution 1325 and to strengthen the replication of good practices between states that plan to, are in the process of, or have already published a National Action Plan on women, peace and security. 

The results of the "Planning for Action" virtual discussion are now available:

From 13 - 31 October 2008, UN-INSTRAW hosted a Virtual Discussion entitled, "Filling the Gaps: A Virtual Discussion on Gender, Peace and Security Research." The discussion brought together members of the Institute's Gender, Peace and Security Research Directory and academics around the world. The aim of the discussion series was to assess current debates in gender, peace and security research with a goal of exchanging information, identifying research gaps, and building a platform for further collaboration. 
 
Within the scope of a joint project on gender and security sector reform, UN-INSTRAW and several partner organizations held two global virtual discussions on the topic of gender training for security sector personnel in order to share experiences and identify best practices in 2007. During the three-week discussion, more than 140 experts from various areas of the security sector and from around the world exchanged experiences and discussed good practices for implementing and evaluating gender training for security sector personnel.
