Abstract
Sierra Leone and Rwanda are countries whose history has been marred by civil war. The civil war in Sierra Leone lasted from 1991 to 2002 and was distinguished for being extremely brutal. Through a comparative comparison, the chapter seeks to determine whether or not female representation can influence how peace and security resolution 1325 is carried out. This will be accomplished by comparing how the resolution was implemented in Rwanda and Sierra Leone. This chapter examines how Resolution 1325 of the UN Security Council was implemented in Sierra Leone and Rwanda. If the political presence and equitable representation affect the implementation of the resolution is the subject of this chapter. The various gender distributions in the parliaments of the various nations will show if that is the case. The results have been examined through the implementation theory lens of public policy analysis. This chapter's findings suggest a link between good implementation and a high proportion of female lawmakers.
