The UNSCR 1325 frames how women's inclusion in conflict resolution increases women's, therefore everyone's well-being. This article lays out that despite the discussions around the Istanbul Convention, EU's dethronement as a moral norm-exporter, and the sour discourse against Syrians in Turkey, it is still possible to write a National Action Plan (NAP) for UNSCR 1325 with the support of the resilient and independent women's civil society. While there is no one-size-fits-all recipe for a NAP, women's civil societies' involvement in international security issues with organizations such as NATO could open new discussions within the civil sphere and contribute to the international discussion around the WPS to push for positive change for women in Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword Available]Article1825157WOS:000605935900006
