Promoting the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda
We promote the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. We recognize the crucial role that women play in consolidating peace, resolving conflicts, and ensuring security.
Our initiatives aim to empower women, ensure their full participation in peace processes, and promote gender equality in all aspects of peace and security.
We envision a world where women are integral leaders and stakeholders in peace and security. By advancing the WPS agenda, we strive to create environments where women's voices are heard, their rights are protected, and their contributions to sustainable peace and development are valued.
