Anyone else overwhelmed at all the incredible new WPS resources coming out for #WPS2020?
I'm finding it hard to keep track of them all, so I'm starting a resource thread for all of us WPS wonks. I'll keep adding on, so please send me anything I've missed!

First up, @UN_Women created a timeline of 20 years of Women, Peace and Security milestones. "A walk through how far we have come - and how much more remains to be done" @nahlav https://interactive.unwomen.org/multimedia/timeline/womenpeacesecurity/2020/en/index.html
Next, @Jamiejhagen has created a one-stop shop to explore the question "How do we Queer Women, Peace & Security?" with key recommendations, podcasts, articles, and more! What?? Amazing.
