The present report provides a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) since the previous report, issued on 12 July 2024 (S/2024/548).

These blogs will provide analysis on what feminist alternatives are there and unpack the root causes of violence through a feminist lens including: how settler colonialism, patriarchy and militarism intersect, analysing their impact on women, racialised groups, social structures, environment, and the broader political economy in Palestine.
