i. FOREWORDimpact NAP that is more comprehensive andinclusive of all issues on the WPS Agenda. Wewelcome the development that since the passageof UNSCR 1325 in 2000, 84 UN Member Stateshave developed NAPs for implementing UNSCR1325.Dr GNM Pandor: Minister of International Relations and CooperationSouth Africa has actively participated in international platforms aimed at advancing theinterests of women, including the historicconference, which culminated in the adoption ofthe Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Actionin 1995. Equally, in May 2000, we supported thefirst deliberations of the Women, Peace andSecurity (WPS) Agenda, which took place inWindhoek, Namibia, and gave birth to theWindhoek Declaration on Mainstreaming aGender Perspective in Multidimensional PeaceSupport Operations. In October 2000, wewitnessed the successful and unanimous adoptionof the historic Resolution 1325 under the NamibianPresidency of the United Nations Security Council(UNSC).After the adoption of UNSCR 1325, an additionalten supplementary resolutions on WPS have beenadopted by the UNSC. This places South Africaat an advantage in terms of adopting a highOver the years, this resolution drew internationalattention to the unrecognised and under-valuedcontribution of women in preventing war andpeacebuilding. The resolution further stressedthe importance of women's equal and fullparticipation as active agents in the preventionand resolution of conflicts, peacebuilding andpeacekeeping.The experience of women in armed conflict isdirectly linked to their status in society. Paragraph135 of the Beijing Platform for Action notes:"While entire communities suffer the consequences of armed conflict and terrorism, womenand girls are particularly affected because of theirstatus in society and their sex.”The changing nature of warfare, in which civiliansare increasingly targeted, however, means thatwomen and children continue to be at thereceiving end of armed conflict. One of thedefining characteristics of contemporary armedconflict is the use of women's bodies as “weaponsof war” through sexual violence and abuse.Nonetheless, women continue to be excludedfrom participation in peace processes.South Africa has always been committed to theimplementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 in linewith its own history, which illustrates the criticalNATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-20253

role women play in peace and security in conflictand post-conflict environments. Our governmenthas also been at the forefront of advancingprogressive policies and legislation to advancethe role of women in society. At the level ofpolitical decision-making and composition of theExecutive, President Cyril Ramaphosa hasappointed a team comprising 50% of women,demonstrating South Africa's commitment towomen's empowerment and gender equality.In January 2019, South Africa began to serve asa non-permanent member on the UNSC for aperiod of two years. Since the beginning of ourtenure on this august body, responsible for themaintenance of international peace and security,we have utilised this membership to promote thepeaceful resolution of conflicts through politicaldialogue. Furthermore, we are working with othermembers of the council in pursuance of the AfricanUnion's (AU) Agenda 2063 Aspiration four, whichcalls for a peaceful and secure Africa. In thisregard, we aim to advocate for the AU's flagshipprogramme of Silencing the Guns by 2020.Another key priority that informs South Africa'smembership of the UNSC is to champion theWPS Agenda. During its Presidency, South Africasponsored UNSC Resolution 2493 (2019)of WPSits commitment to the continuing and fullimplementation, in a mutually reinforcing manner,of resolutions 1325 (2000), and all subsequentresolutions on WPS. The Resolution was adoptedon 29 October 2019 by the UNSC.South Africa's tenure in the UNSC builds onPresident Nelson Mandela's legacy of workingtowards a peaceful, just and prosperous world.4Our country aims to continue playing the role ofbridge-builder, bringing together divergentperspectives and possibly resolving impasses,with a view to allow the Security Council to fulfilits obligations of maintaining international peaceand security in line with the UN Charter.The fundamental principle of the National ActionPlan on WPS in South Africa is that human securityand state security are intrinsically linked. Meaning,there can never be human security withoutpeaceful states, and there cannot be durablepeace for states without the safety of their citizens.The NAP is anchored on four pillars of the WPSAgenda, namely: participation prevention protection relief and recovery.Through these four pillars, our NAP highlightsthe importance of women's inclusion in peaceprocesses as a matter of principle. Our NAP alsobuilds on the commitments contained in theBeijing Platform for Action (1995) adopted at theUN's Fourth World Conference on Women, whichlaid out a framework for achieving greater equalityand opportunity for women based on thefulfilment of their rights.Our NAP provides policymakers and securityactors with a new set of tools to plan for largescale, coordinated collaboration to support thestrategic priority of creating a safe and peacefulSouth Africa and continent. It also providesconcrete action steps to help government andcivil society to evolve out of conflict peacefully,NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-2025

through involvement of women as peace anchorsin communities during localised conflicts such asservice delivery protests, gang violence, studentuprisings as well as the development andimplementation of gender-responsive policies.We are confident that the wide range of optionspresented in the four pillars will help all stakeholders (both state and non-state actors) to moresystematically and strategically implement theWPS Agenda. Our NAP is a product of bothgovernment and civil society. These combinedcivil society and government efforts yieldedpositive results, including: fostering dialogue and a cooperative relationship and creating a clear policy framework ensuring ownership and accountability as wellas building capacity and expertise for participating institutions on WPS raising awareness and opening space to discussand exchange information, as well as holdingseminars and training sessions on WPS issues.Let me take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders, including government departments andagencies, civil-society organisations, the academiaas well as our development partners whose ideas,experiences, time, energy and resources madethis NAP possible.NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-20255

ii. PREFACEIndeed the 1994 Security Sector Reforms andIntegration Process created a favourableenvironment for women to swell the ranks ofthe SANDF. Women moved to central positionsparticipating in Military Operations and inleadership roles. For example, LieutenantColonel Tiisetso Segobela is a 7 Infantry BatallionCommander who was deployed in the NorthernKivu Region as part of the Force InterventionBrigade in 2018. Women are therefore recognized as full members of the SANDF. Manywomen serving in the SANDF are eager to learnand grow in operational experience andenthusiastic about opportunities to serve inPeace Support Operations and in Border SafeGuarding.Ms Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula: Minister of Defence and Military VeteransIn the South African context, women earnedtheir right to serve in all spheres including in themilitary through fighting side by side with theirmale compatriots during our struggle forfreedom and democracy. Therefore, the DOD'spolicy stance since the advent of democracyenvisions an RSA that benefits from a defenceposture and approach which is informed by bothwomen and men equally in terms of decisions,tasks and operations in addressing national,continental and international human security.This is aligned with the country's constitutionand regional and international protocols whichcall for an end to discrimination based on gender.Currently, the majority of female soldiers stillserve in the support corps. Our 2008 GenderMainstreaming Strategy, however, set a 40%target for the recruitment of females at entrylevel and this has ensured the creation of a poolof Officers from which to select candidates forpromotion at the various rank levels. At thisjuncture, women are represented in all ranklevels except that of a Lieutenant General.We are pleased that the SANDF is recognizedas one of the Troop Contributing Countries inthe World that deploys a significant number ofwomen in its contingents during Peace SupportOperations. Research conducted on women'sparticipation in Peace Support OperationsNATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-20257

indicates that the benefits of deploying theminclude the ability to put their Military Traininginto practice. Female peacekeepers also serveas role models to local women and influencetheir decision to join their countries ArmedForces.Although gender perspectives have beenincorporated in all Military Development Coursesin the SANDF, there is still a need to reviewMilitary Education and Training as one of thecritical success factors for the creation of a just,equal, fair and inclusive organization. Theincorporation of gender perspectives in allMilitary Development Courses should lead tochanges in the nature of gender relations withinthe SANDF.826 years into democracy we therefore need tonote that we have made progress in mainstreaming gender into the Defence Force butchallenges remain. There are still patriarchalattitudes that persist within the organization aswell as incidents of sexual harassment, sexualexploitation and abuse. Therefore, movingforward, we must remain vigilant and neverbecome complacent. We must strengthen ourorganization's compliance and accountabilitymechanisms in order to defend and consolidateour democratic gains. The integrated andcollaborative implementation of the NAP will,therefore, bring the DOD closer to the peopleof this country and promote social cohesion andsafety in all our communities.NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-2025

iii. PRELUDEin decision-making structures, including in thesecurity sector. This is because South Africa hasstrong domestic legislative and policy frameworks for the promotion and protection ofwomen.Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane: Minister in the Presidency Responsiblefor Women, Youth and Persons with DisabilitiesThese achievements are reflected in the 25 yearBeijing review report, South Africa has thehighest number of women in the Defense Forcein the Region which up from 24% in 2010 to 30%in 2015. The total percentage of males andfemales deployed in the Mistral and Opscorona are as follows: Males 949 (83%) andFemales 194 (17%) on Mistral and Males 2372(83%) and Females (17%) on Ops Corona. SouthAfrica recruits 30% of women through the MilitarySkills Development (MSDS) annually and arefound in the core mustering such as anti-aircraft,Infantry, Armour, and Combat Navy. The goalremains 50/50 in all areas of decision making.South Africa is releasing this National ActionPlan on Women Peace and Security at a timewhen the global community is looking back atwhat they have done to realise the aspirationof women's empowerment and gender equalityas espoused in the Beijing Platform for Actionin the Beijing 25 reports and the 20 years ofthe UNSC adoption of Resolution 1325.However, we need to pay attention to areas ofhuman insecurity. The country finds itself in avery difficult period in its history where genderbased violence has become a national crisis. Weare committed to a comprehensive approachto eradicate this scourge and we have recentlyadopted a National Strategic Plan on GenderBased Violence and Femicide.This has been a long journey of reflection as welook back at the 25 years of our democracy andthe empowerment of women and genderequality. As a country we have made great stridesin gender equality and women's representationThis NAP is focussed on creating peace andsecurity internally, as well as externally durable.We want to thank the three lead departmentswho led to the development of the NAP:NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY 2020-20259

vii. KEY CONCEPTSConflict: Defined as “perceived incompatibilitiesof interests” between two or more parties. Thereare different forms of conflict, for example, nonviolent, interpersonal, intra-personal, inter- andintra-group, and inter- and intra-state. Whenparties to a conflict take up arms, the conflict isconsidered a violent conflict.1 It is important tonote that conflict is not necessarily bad and canserve as a catalyst for change. The key is tomanage the tensions so that they do not findviolent expression.Conflict Management: Aimed at the limitation,mitigation and containment of conflict andincludes conflict prevention, peace-making,peacekeeping, post-conflict reconstruction andpeacebuilding.Conflict Prevention: Refers to strategies aimedat anticipating and/or averting conflict, e.g. earlywarning and fact-finding missions.Disarmament, Demobilisation, Repatriation,Reintegration and Resettlement: DDRRR is animportant peacebuilding tool that seeks to limitthe potential security challenges that may arisefrom ex-combatants in the post-conflict phase.It is a process in which weapons are removedfrom armed groups, and ex-combatantsreintegrated socially and economically intocommunities.2123Early Warning: Is a key conflict prevention tool.It is an alert system for the potential outbreak,escalation or resurgence of violent conflict, andfor natural and humanitarian disasters.Domestic Violence: It means “physical abuse,sexual abuse, emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, economic abuse, intimidation,harassment, stalking, damage to property; entryinto the complainant's residence withoutconsent, where the parties do not share thesame residence; or any other controlling orabusive behaviour towards a complainant, wheresuch conduct harms, or may cause imminentharm to the safety, health or well-being of thecomplainant.”3Femicide: The intentional killing of females(women or girls) on account of their gender.Gender: The roles, responsibilities, attributesand opportunities that are socio-culturallyascribed to men, women, boys and girls in agiven society. Most societies construct genderaccording to two distinct and oppositecategories: boy/man/male, girl/woman/female.However, gender is along a continuum, and isnot limited to just two possibilities. A personmay have a non-gender identity, meaning theydo not identify strictly as a boy or a girl, man orwoman, but they could identify as both, orneither, or as another gender entirely.Kegley, C and Blanton S. 2010.

Gender Equality: The equal enjoyment of rightsand access to opportunities and outcomes,including resources, by women, men, girls, boysand gender non-conforming persons.appearance or behaviours of a stereotypicalmale or female.

In 1997, the Economic and Social Council defined it as: “It is theprocess of assessing the implications for womenand men of any planned action, includinglegislation, policies or programmes, in all areasand at all levels. It is a way to make women's aswell as men's concerns and experiences anintegral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policiesand programmes in all political, economic andsocietal spheres so that women and men benefitequally and inequality is not perpetuated. Theultimate goal is to achieve gender equality.”4Gender mainstreaming therefore seeks todetermine the areas and dimensions wherewomen are still excluded and to present waysin which this can be addressed.Gender Nonconforming Person: Refers to anindividual who does not match the gender normsof the gender they are perceived to be bysociety. This means that a person's genderexpression does not correspond with the4518Gender Sensitivity: Acknowledging andconsidering the specific gender needs of women,men and gender non-conforming persons at alllevels of development, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.Human Rights Violations: The infringement ofthe basic rights and freedoms to which all humanbeings are entitled.
