The adoption of UNSCR 1325 in October 2000 signaled the UN Security Council’s commitment to promoting gender inclusivity in peace and security agendas. Twenty years after it was signed, progress on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (WPS) goals has been uneven, varying across issue areas and regions. This paper assesses the progress that Latin America has made in the inclusion of women in peacekeeping and evaluates the importance of the adoption of National Action Plans (NAPs) in reaching these goals. It concludes that while NAPs are important towards achieving WPS goals regarding peacekeeping, they are not sufficient.
