Amplifying Women’s Voices for Equity and Inclusion in Peacebuilding

On November 2, USIP hosted a conversation on the role of women in creating an inclusive and equitable path forward for the peacebuilding field. The discussion brought together women practitioners and academics from a range of generational and geographical backgrounds to examine what their diverse experiences with equity and inclusion can tell us about the state of peacebuilding — as well as what can be done to better elevate women’s voices in the future.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world. Learn more about USIP
