How has Australia advanced the WPS agenda, particularly in focusing on gender equality, human security, and sustainable development and working with civil society? How effective has Australia been in linking WPS and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5 (gender equality and women’s empowerment) and 16 (promote peaceful and inclusive societies)? What are the prospects for Australia’s 2nd NAP?
