Current OSF Projects

In 2005, the UN Secretary General Special Report called on member states to create Women, Peace and Security (WPS) National Action Plans detailing how they will fulfill the mandate, to ensure that countries follow through with their commitments. The Our Secure Future WPS National Action Plan Academy is focused on engaging countries and key policymakers to create and implement high-impact WPS National Action Plans.

In 2020, Our Secure Future spearheaded the establishment of a bipartisan Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Congressional Caucus. The WPS Caucus seeks to ensure that the WPS goals stated in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325 and in the Women, Peace and Security Act (Public Law No: 115-68) are actively considered national security and foreign policy priorities for the United States in our bilateral and multilateral relations, discussions, and agreements.

The full and meaningful leadership, empowerment, and participation of women is essential to resolving deadly conflict and building stable, prosperous, and just post-conflict societies. To help fulfill this vision, Mobilizing Men as Partners for Women, Peace and Security (MAWPS) is bringing global leaders—including prominent men from the defense, diplomacy, development, and business arenas—more fully into the campaign, along with the courageous women leaders who have long driven this advocacy, including grassroots advocates from war-affected countries.

Project Delphi was launched to apply the Women, Peace and Security framework to the emerging digital ecosystem. The project seeks to identify systemic gender problems, analyze implications for peace and security, and develop more inclusive ways to approach technology norms and policies in the coming years.
