| Dear Friend, Twenty-five years ago, the world finally put words to what experience had long shown: Peace is more secure when women are part of the process. Since then, the UN’s Women, Peace and Security Agenda has guided efforts to make peace more inclusive, more just, and more lasting. Yet even as we celebrate this milestone, we recognise that progress has been uneven, and the work remains unfinished. Women’s role in peacebuilding is complex. They are often victims of conflict, yet sometimes they encourage men to fight; they are often the ones left to rebuild what war has destroyed, and they can be powerful disrupters who challenges ancient systems. Each role matters. When we create space for women to participate meaningfully in peacebuilding, they show their capacity to lead. When women’s voices are heard in community decisions, those decisions are stronger and more sustainable.We give women training, tools and new sources of income and, through our programmes, literally thousands of women have become mediators and providers, advocates and respected peacebuilders. Their journey is long and often uneven, but it proves beyond doubt that peace is stronger, and more enduring, when women help build it. We need your help to do more of this. Click here to support peace processes that resource and value the contribution of women. As we celebrate 25 years of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, we renew our commitment to its essential truth: that sustainable peace is only possible when women participate fully and meaningfully. With our best wishes, Kate Giles Fundraising and Communications Manager |
