What is Women, Peace & Security?

Women, Peace and Security recognizes the critical role women play in conflict prevention, resolution and peacebuilding.

Our Work

Mobilizing Men as Partners for Women, Peace and Security

The full and meaningful leadership, empowerment, and participation of women is essential to resolving deadly conflict and building stable, prosperous, and just post-conflict societies. To help fulfill this vision, Mobilizing Men as Partners for Women, Peace and Security has created a group of leaders that identifies, encourages, and mobilizes the voices of prominent men and women in support of women’s engagement in global processes of peace, reconciliation, and post-conflict reconstruction.
