Women’s Political Participation in Peacebuilding

ID provides diplomatic support and capacity building to women leaders, negotiators, and activists.

Although it has been clearly established that peace negotiations and peace agreements are more durable when women are involved and included as signatories, women are still rarely represented adequately within negotiations. The provision of diplomatic support to female leaders, negotiators, and activists is a core cross-cutting component of ID’s work. This work aims to ensure that women are not only included at the highest levels of diplomacy but have the capacity and support to influence the full spectrum of political, security, socioeconomic, humanitarian and gender-specific issues affecting their futures in areas ranging from conflict prevention and resolution to cyber security and climate change.
