As one of the Institute for Peace and Justice’s flagship programs, the Women PeaceMakers program documents the stories and best practices of international women leaders who are involved in human rights and peacemaking efforts in their home countries.
Women on the frontlines of efforts to end violence and secure a just peace seldom record their experiences, activities and insights, as generally there is no time, or, perhaps, no formal education that would help them record their work.
The Women PeaceMakers program offers an opportunity for women leaders who want to document, share and build upon their unique peacemaking stories.
In addition to documenting their stories, women give presentations on their work at the institute and in the San Diego community. They have opportunities to exchange ideas and approaches to peacemaking and justice, which increases their capacity to participate in conflict resolution, peacebuilding efforts and post-conflict decision making.
The Women PeaceMakers program works increasingly to project participants as experts and advocates in gendered peacebuilding processes locally, regionally and internationally.
The institute gratefully acknowledges Cigna for supporting the 2014 Women PeaceMakers program.
